Review: Beautiful Guitar! - This guitar is an amazing piece to add to the collection. Only draw back is because of the explorer shape and location of the strap knobs I will need to order a longer strap as it feels like it sits too high when standing up with a normal strap. That and I will upgrade it to strap locks which unfortunately the LTD version does not come with.
Review: Quality and sound are excellent - My grandson loves it

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this brand new (never been played)? Also, how fast is the shipping???**
A: Yes, our offer is for a brand new product that has never been played. We ship within 24 hours and the shipping time would depend on where you live. Shipping time to CA is 6 days and 3-4 days to most other places. Thanks!

**Q: Is this an  ESP factory B-Stock guitar?**
A: If you see a small number "2" on the back of the headstock, you know it's a B-stock.   They cannot legally sell those as "new".   If you end up getting one, let ESP customer service know.    Just don't buy one from a NON-ESP dealer and you should be able to get your money back.

**Q: Is it possibe to ensure the snakebyte in snow white that i purchase is from korea and not indonesia?**
A: E-mail the vendor. Probably Indonesian with a cheaper black nut that's kind of sharp (can be smoothed).

**Q: Is this guitar good to play or more for display?**
A: My husband loves playing it . Works amazingly
