Is this ESP M-II Custom Shop legit?
hey guys,
This one is advertised as a m-II CTM Custom shop at a price of ~2250 USD (1900 EUR). Could you please let me know if this looks legit to you?
Thanks a lot!

Not true - through the mid 2000s the original series M-II CTM also came with chrome hardware optional on each of the finishes.
Try to get pics of the back. There's so many copycat guitars out there it's hard to tell. I would be real careful buying an ESP through eBay. Especially if it's coming from Japan. I saw an obvious Jackson dinky guitar with an ESP logo stuck on top of the headstock. Dude was asking like 4grand or something ridiculous for it!
