    Hello all; would someone please let me know if this serial number is legitimate?

    Do all signature series have the ESP logo on the back of the headstock?    This one does not, and I feel like I got the deal of a lifetime on it.

    It feels great, has the certificate of authenticity, came in what appeared to be original packaging, has the logo on the case, and appears to have come from a legitimate dealer.  Am I just being paranoid, or am I in good shape?

    Thanks to all; Happy Holidays

                The silver Made in Japan is just a sticker over the finish.

                      I just see difference in potentiometers position and stop bar if compare this guitar with catalog 2000. Also head with EX letters and serial number some confusing...

                          The serial number on the neck plate doesn't mean much, unfortunately. If there's a serial number on the headstock, that may help more. But I agree with ESPEXP, it looks fine to me as well. The earliest EX models have the EX on the headstock. This is probably from around when they were trying to sell Hetfield on the shape.

                              I have a Kamikaze 1 and was wondering about whether it is authentic or not. Maybe someone would know.

                                  Very likely to buy this beauty - all looks fine to me but would appreciate some other opinions. Only thing that I find odd is the "Made in Japan" sticker under the SN seems to be missing and the tuners are Sperzel instead of Gotoh? Many thanks in advance!

                                    Looks fine to me. The sticker is just that a sticker, so it is removable. Since this guitar has a bridge, it could have came with sperzels or they were put on afterward. Either way, everything seems legit.

                                            They peel off pretty easily if you get them too sweaty under the stage lights.

                                            That's a nice Horizon.   SS serial is good; you have a nice '06.

                                            IIRC, Gotoh didn't have a locking tuner option back then, but I could be mistaken on that.
