The ESP Guitar Company

Hello, only the new for 2021 models have stainless steel frets. We will be offering more models with stainless frets every year when we release new models.

If you have any questions not answered on our product page, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com

The only reason I asked is I'll be receiving mine tomorrow from zzounds. I don't know what yr. model it will be do you have a way to tell the yr. of it and also I see that Fishman has a  Fishman Fluence Rechargeable battery pack can this be installed on this guitar? 

I wrote to ESP Guitars asking the same.
This is what I got:

Hi, Glad to hear you like your new instrument.

You can find  our standard owner's manual on our website support section here: https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/esp/site_assets/000/000/436/original.pdf , however a printed version is no longer available.

The basic functionality is listed on the description of this product page and you can also find more info about Fluence Open Core Classic pickups here: https://www.fishman.com/portfolio/fluence-open-core-classic-humbucker-pickups/

If you have any more questions, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com

We recommend using a clean dry cloth. If you polish or wax this finish, the satin finish will turn shiny. Please contact customerservice@espguitars.com should you need any assistance.

Hi, this should be relatively easy to do. The only thing that wouldn't work is the voice 3 on the 2nd control (because Fishman Modern do not have voice 3). The pickups would simple plug in to the existing wiring, and you would probably have to disconnect the wires going to the middle push pull pot. You can contact Fishman for help with wiring or contact our customer service at customerservice@espguitars.com
