Kh-2 vintage fake?
Kh-2 vintage fake?
Hey guys, looking to purchase my first ESP. I recently got burned to the tune of $1800 buying a Strat, so I'm being extremely cautious. I've found this one and concerned when I compare the headatock to a known authentic one (2nd image). Appears to be a lower quality wood, and just not well finished. The serial number also seems too low to be produced in 2006. It has a COA but seems those are faked often too. Another concern is an older post here questioning authenticity of the same guitar had a serial # K0624302
I cannot post links..it is EBAY ITEM ID: 162763216099
Appreciate any advice!
Maybe I can't find it cause I'm based in Belgium anyway I'd suggest you have a look at guitarscollector's website compare with other vintages but remember that each vintage being hand crafted will differ slighlty. There's no need to overreact over this.
I'd be more concerned about ouijas.
What you can also do is ask ESP about making it legit directly provided the seller sends you pics. I always have ESP guys back every ESP up but they want detailed pics
