Here are some non cropped images. Thanks

As I said in the other thread, it's a legit 2010 Eclipse II. I like it.

In 2010, it would be an ESP Standard Series, not an E-II.

Hi there,

Thanks for doing this for people.

Do you mind letting me know if you think this 2012 Eclipse Standard is legit? I've had it for a while (5+ years) and got it new for an amazing price.

edit: forgot to add photos of the back.

It's legit. A 2012 Eclipse II in the reindeer blue finish.

Hi, do you think this one is legit or fake? Got the pics from an italian ad site, the ad says "ESP V2 made in Japan" but I can't find any other references to a ESP model named V2.

Thanks

The photos are a bit lacking, but the serial number and logos are all right. It's a 2009 V-II. I didn't find the model in the product archive for 2009, but it was a legit model. Not a ton of them made, but the LTD version was pretty popular that year. Actually, there were a lot of Vs that year between signatures and the rest.

Is this real or fake? Looks like 2012 model, but with Custom Shop stamp and 24 frets - i can't find similar spec model on internet.

It's a fake. Sorry man. There are some easy tells on it, but the back plate in the first photo was enough.

Hey everyone. Hope I can find a bit of help here. Maybe you have seen this one before. I have a chance for a trade and something irks me about this. It looks totally legit at the face of it but some things don't add up. It's said to be a custom order, but it comes with a standard series serial number, logo, and oddly, an inspected in USA sticker on the back plate?  Was told this was a thing you could do back in 2012, but cant understand why it wouldn't be a custom shop, and why would it need to be inspected in the USA?. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking it could be a refinished LTD but the carve seems Japanese and I don't know LTD horizons with blank fretboards and black binding

It's legit, a 2012 Horizon NT model. ESP occasionally does one-off or small runs of different finishes for dealers the company has good relationships with. I have three such guitars.

Hey guys! Need help ID-ing this Edwards ESP superstrat. Have asked around and the best guess is that this is a mid 80s prototype non-production Mirage of some sort, due to its configuration, lack of finish and 1982-1985 weird Mirage styled Strat body.

Owner has no details and also thinks its a prototype escapee, what do you think?

The logo looks real, but I have no other experience with those guitars, especially from that era.

Hey guys, just wondering if this 2006 Eclipse Standard is legit, thanks!

It's legit. 2006 Eclipse II

I don't know the inlay material. What I can share from experience is that the inlays before 2008 are of a less wavy material than what they've used since. Whether it's actually a MOP or a different provider of the pearloid, I don't know.
