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
Hey, everyone! This is my 1st post ever so just a quick question on my EC-1000 serial number. It starts with a "R" so I don't know which factory it's supposed to be from (please HELP, Pushead!), but I'm pretty sure, judging by the numbers, she's having her 11th birthday in 4 days, right (0816526)? Best regards to all my fellow ESPians!
I recently came across this guitar and want to check its authenticity. Is this guitar legitimate or a fake?
I did procure it from someone in ukraine, but it has the "inspected in usa" sticker on it. I asked him about that and he said he bought it from someone in the usa. I did replace the battery for the active pickups in the unit and it was a duracell battery that said it was made in malyasia.
It looks like a 2011 and I see in the ESP Catalog the pickups came black stock in 2011 and this guitar has gold EMGs, but I am sure that those can be customized upon ordering from ESP?
Other than the items mentioned above (bought in ukraine with "inspected in usa" sticker on it, the malysian duracell battery, and the gold pickups) I cannot find any other flaws that would make me think it is a knock off. Just wanted to check for certainty. Thanks!
Black top, white sides and back? That's a bit odd. The guitar looks fine.
