Hi guys !

 

I just bought my first ESP/LTD 2 hours ago, a 2007 used one, but I'm surprised there isn't ESP marked ont the tuning keys ? I have the original bill, with the good serial number, but no official case, the country of manufacture is erased, and no ESP on tuning keys... What do you think about this guitar ? Real or fake ? Thanks a lot !

It's legit. As you said, a 2007 model. It was made in Korea.

So it's normal there is no ESP on the tuning keys ? On internet, all EC-1000 have it

They could have been replaced, but more likely, it's just a difference between the years. The guitar is legit, the hardware is easily replaced if you prefer to find a set with the logo on it.

Ok thanks !

Real, congrats on the Korean LTD, awesome guitar.

I bought a 2008 MH-400NT from a pawn shop for $160, deal of the century.

As Pushead stated, you had a opportunity to upgrade the tuning keys. A set of Sperzels 3+3 is a far superior upgrade to even the ESP-label keys.
