The Fake ESP Thread
The Fake ESP Thread
Pushead and I are here to help verify ESP and LTD guitars. If you have, or are looking to buy a guitar that you're unsure of, post pictures and questions in this thread. Please post clear pictures of the front and back of the headstock, the fretboard, and the front and back of the body. Preferably before you buy anything.
Anyone else is free to offer suggestions on authenticity. If you answer a post, please tell us why you think it's real or fake.

There's information on page 64.
It's an uncommon model, but as I said as a reply to your other post, something makes me feel uneasy about this. Maybe it's just the photo quality. But someone selling a guitar while missing strings makes me think it may not be well taken care of.
As for strings for you, if you're an inexperienced player, I'd stick with a set of .009s. Ernie Ball or D'Addario are two popular brands that you couldn't go wrong with. Stop in and talk to someone at your local music shop. They'll have good advice for you.
Sorry, forgot this pic
