No, its a cheap ESP strat as a matter of fact, its foreign but of course it is an ESP, its the cheapest ESP model around cheap in price that is, quality is rather good, the only reason its an ESP instead of LTD is because when they started making these ESP was JUST ESP not the LTD branch. They still make these for some reason and still call them ESP’s, why i do not know, but they arent made in USA only ones made in USA are the actual custom shop series. also, im looking for one, if your interested in selling yours do tell me. any other questions, just ask. Trevor : Is the esp strat 400 series made in the USA?
