ESP- Can you help me Identify ???

[Horse Called War]

I picked up this up last night, very clean and great sound(Emg 81's). I do not know very much about ESP. There is a signature on the headstock and on the back of the neck, "USED" is stamped into the wood. No serial numbers at all. Any help ?

I do not know very much about ESP.

oh, its very easy. ESP = NEVER AS GOOD AS A JACKSON.

J/K. What does the inlay at the 12th fret say? that's usually the model number right? Looks like a M-series to me.

I'm thinking 2000ish M2. They are the only ones that I know of that had the trans finishes like that. I have a 97 that was a HS but I know later there were HH config. MIne was a great guitar and I should not have sold it.

USED= Factory blowout no warranty. Was brand new but was sold veeeeery cheaply to the vendor, therefore the profit margin wasnt enough to afford honoring the warranty. USED was stamped into the wood so it could be spotted as such and therefore would be denied warranty claims.

Thanks guys, I knew you someone would have some information. Emperor ,It says LTD on the 12th fret and dont worry I still have my Charvel too, !!

ESP = Exceptionally Shitty Products

LTD = Lazy Terrible Duplicate

no, not really

I'm actually kind of curious about the signature. It's probably the LTD version of an artist sig model, but I don't know their artists other than the biggies.

i'm sure it's a great guitar. does it seem like it's made of ash? just looking at the grain it looks like it may be.

[Horse Called War]

Yes, the picture isn't very clear. It is one of the best playing guitars I have ever owned. I am trying to find out that signature, but no luck.

opinions are like assholes, every has one and they stink

I would put the older korean ltds up against the charvel model series. My old ltd even had a schaller that I believe was stock.

[zeegler]

That's not even an ESP. Look at the headstock. It says LTD. It's very much like saying you have a Gibson, when in fact you have an Epiphone. Is there something shameful about it being an LTD, that you have to call it an ESP? I'm sure we've all been around enough to know the difference.

I've never played an LTD that I liked, but I've heard that some of them are pretty good.
