Serial Number Check?
Serial Number Check?
K1249304
Hello all; would someone please let me know if this serial number is legitimate?
Do all signature series have the ESP logo on the back of the headstock? This one does not, and I feel like I got the deal of a lifetime on it.
It feels great, has the certificate of authenticity, came in what appeared to be original packaging, has the logo on the case, and appears to have come from a legitimate dealer. Am I just being paranoid, or am I in good shape?
Thanks to all; Happy Holidays
Should be from around 2000. Basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard. Licensed Floyd, Duncan Designed pickups.

Definitely 80s, retains a lot of the look of the Kramers they were building then. Separate HS and body serial numbers were common. Necks were made at different times than bodies.
Don't get worked up about "custom shop" because what that would have meant in the 80s vs what that means today are two completely different things. They were just putting bodies from one area together with a neck from another area and maybe painting them ordered colors. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a very nice guitar, but there wasn't a separate "custom shop" making higher quality guitars in those days.
Hello.
I just bought ESP LTD SC-20 See Thru Green Stephen Carpenter signature model and it has been as a model guitar in a shop, so I'd like to know a little bit of a background story of this beauty. What would be the year of manufacture and if you could tell me some other factory information? These are basically stupid questions, cause this model was re-issued last year as a 20 year celebration of Stephen's first signature model, but thank you beforehand.
I have an LTD M-207, serial number 99018933. What can you tell me about the guitar?
