As expert collectors of everything "ESP" we can confirm this is authentic ESP Japan manufacturing as well as ESP paint and factory artwork!
This is the third one we have had and last one of these we own. The first one we found was purchased from a German collector who had ties to the 1980s ESP outlet in Dusseldorf Germany and we sold that one in 1999. This guitar is in stock here in Scottsdale Arizona USA. This is the real deal ESP and equivalent to ESP's Navigator Series of Guitars which are also marked "Produced by ESP"...!
This is an official Electric Sound Products ( ESP ) guitar and was made at the ESP Japan factory. There are NO modifications of any kind to this guitar. It is what is considered a "Production Model". This means it was an official model released by The Electric Sound Products guitar company for distribution. Touted by ESP in advertising as an "exact version". Indeed the guitar has specific detailed specifications such as a Original Vintage Floyd Rose tremolo and a Seymour Duncan TB-6 humbucker just as EVH's.
