How to spot fake ESP
How to spot fake ESP
Hey guys,
Do you have any knowledge regarding fake guitars and how to spot them?
Maybe guitar companies should start a database where we could register original guitars and verify their authenticity. I understand that, I his is extra cost but we have to somehow protect ourselves from not honest seller, specially when we buy used instruments.
Hey guys! I know that this is an old thread, but I'd like some help. I'm about to buy an used ESP Les Paul James Hetfield Signature for a good price, but I couldn't find any pic of this specific model online. Judging for the serial number it's legit and it was crafted in 2007. Can anybody say something about this model ? Does it look fake?
It's fake.
Out of interest what signature model did you think it was?
Only two Iron cross models produced.
The 2009 limited Iron cross model?https://www.espguitars.com/forums/1963222/posts/2151190-fs-esp-iron-cross-2009-the-day-that-never-comes
Or the white Iron cross Signature series model? https://www.espguitars.com/products/9332-esp-iron-cross-sw?category_id=1963396-james-hetfield
It's a legit late 1990s Viper Standard. Here's a link to the 1998 catalog for more details.
