Serial number
Serial number
Hey all,
I would like to ask for some help to find out if this guitar is fake or not.
Thank you in advance!
Great, thanks.
I've read the last "3" is for the factory, here is ESP Standard factory. What does that mean compared to the Tokio Factory for exemple ?
Thank you for your quick answer.
People told me that E-II is not true ESP standard but "cheap LTD prestige".
That's why I ask. I like this guitar but it has big finition problems.
I'm trying to figure out how to decode indonesian and chinese serial numbers..
For example: A EC-401BK I bought recently has this serialnumber IS0824371, another EC-401 FM BK is labeled IS100508565 (My guess is '08 and 10)
But I also got three EC-500 with the typical World Music serialnumber that's really easy to decode - they were made in 07 and 08. When did they start the EC401 production in Indonsia? Did they still produce EC-500 and EC-401 at the same time at different locations? I can remember some early EC401 models still made in Korea.
Another one: H-250 STG made in Indonesia IR0511396 (this appears a '05 model since it still has a cockstock)
The chinese ones are both EC256 (aged): L10062051 and I12061980 ('10 and '12)?
Thanks!

The guitar is legit. It's a 2008 Eclipse II model. It's an Eclipse II instead of a I because of the figured maple top. It's not a CTM style because it doesn't have the 5 ply binding or an ebony board.

It's a nice looking top and the guitar looks in pretty good condition. Congrats!

Thanks much appreciated
First year of the E-II brand. It's a 2013 model, which is why it has the model name on the head stock instead of the diamond.
