So I just picked this up in a trade from a guy on craigslist. Can you please provide me with some more information about this orphan but soon to be a star I have recently come across a LTD EC GTA guitar at a local music store.
Sweetwater has just about doubled its stock of Brian Moore guitars and basses. The pickups do sound killer and I love the versatility of these together. Let's look at an example of what this might look like - MM12022. Starting At 247 Overall Height 1208 Interior Width 95 Choose Options 2, 5 u000bType: Bay Star :: 2021 Newmar Bay Star 3401: Steve-W.

And if anyone is interested in an encyclopedia of guitar features by date and model, George Gruhn's book is an absolute necessity. Fender used parts bought as early as 1964 in huge bulk and used them through the mid and late 60s. These are good for dating amp potentiometers and speakers. The accuracy of data found there is not guaranteed, except for Fender which I've had chance testing with one of my basses. Disclaimer: listed resources represent what I've found online. 1975 - Hisatake Shibuya opened a shop called Electric Sound Products (ESP) in Tokyo, which provided custom replacement parts for guitars and quickly gained a reputation for the high-quality of these replacement parts. Could you please tell me about the specs on this guitar.

As I have never did this myself before, please help me compose a useful resource for everyone to use as a reference when they need to get more details on their guitars based on the serial number. : :ESP LTD EC100 Pickups seymour Designed serial Number W0221148 Korean Made. I think it can be fun to know a little bit more about our instruments and try to dig up some history if possible.

I thought it might be cool to have a thread which features links and info on how to track and date guitar serial numbers for different brands. When I started in 63, you couldn t get as much as a Martin serial-number list. In 2005, the AX-350 was discontinued and was replaced with the AX-400, AX-250, and the AX-50. Where did it made by?Įveryone has been guessing for years.
John Yeah I was thinking this too but I'm not too sure how many times ESP have actually done it. They also started the goofy "serial number" sometime in 2004.ESP Guitars & Serial Number IdentificationĬlick here: => /dt?s=YToyOntzOjc6InJlZmVyZXIiO3M6MzA6Imh0dHA6Ly9iYW5kY2FtcC5jb21fZHRfcG9zdGVyLyI7czozOiJrZXkiO3M6Mjg6IkVzcCBsdGQgc2VyaWFsIG51bWJlciBsb29rdXAiO30=īut isn't the M-II a 25. In 2003 they brought out all the different LP models, "Lacquer Taste", different "artist" models. In 1993 they started the body, neck cutting, body-neck construction and painting in the new Chinese factory - fully owned and operated by ESP. Pickups, tenon joint went through varying changes, logo changes, TRC changes, etc. Heres my personal observations for USA models (be aware that ESP seems to use different methods in different countries and always seems to produce healthy numbers of exceptions to rules): Late 80s- early 90s Neck through- Made in Japan inked. Just "standards" and "customs." No model number, just kept changing a little every year. This is the earliest ESP guitar we have ever seen available for sale in the world This is an extremely rare headstock shape and logo - the very first ESP. ESP has used a mix of serial number schemes over the years. They first started mass producing Edwards Les Pauls in 88-89.
They made some proto-type Edwards in the early 80's. You pay a little more for the aged binding and "lacquer taste."īefore 2003, I think they were all white logos, I could be wrong on that though.
The model numbers? 92? 98? That refers to price, 92,000 yen, or 98,000 yen. On Edwards Les Pauls after 2003, you can determine model by the Edwards logo on the headstock: That method of dating by serial number is not to be trusted (that infos from an ESP insider). There are no model indentifiers on Edwards.
