      Hi, I have an ESP Snakebyte, serial number SS1108213. Here are some pictures that should kind of Sperzel Locking Tuners life, and there are Gotoh Locking Tuners. What can you tell me about the guitar, is it fake or original?

      Sorry to say that even with those terrible photos, it's easy to tell that the guitar is a fake.

      Hey - I've just bought an M-1 super-strat, which I believe is from the 80s. Could you confirm any details about it It has different serials on the headstock (6252) and neckplate (01876)so I think that means it is custom shop, but again - would love any details you have!

      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.

      Studio Gears dealer exclusive. Love the paint!  Can you tell me what year?  Kinda funny the trust rod cover doesn't say M1000??

       

      W16070447 

       

      Edit: after looking at the other posts and replies, it's a 2016, right?  Why no m1000 cover tho?

      It's a 2016. ESP didn't start with the model number on the truss rod cover until late 2017, when they removed the model name from the 12th fret (which was the case on most models.)

      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.
