Hi!

I've got this guitar second hand, and the serial number starts with U. I know its supposed to inform about the factory it was made in, but i never heard of an ESP factory that starts with a U. Could you please asure me about the originality of my EC-1000?

    Hi Turcsi, Yes we have produced our guitars with a "U" serial number prefix in Korea (between the years 2000 - 2010 roughly). Although you may not have seen this before, it should be nothing to worry about. I cannot confirm here 100% authenticity of your guitar, but it is likely one of our original instruments. If you have further questions please send to our customer service team by email at customerservice@espguitars.com

          What material is the nut made of? And can I switch the Knobs for Gibson speed knobs?

            Hi Keven, the nut is made of PPS molded plastic This is widely used on production guitars. It has good properties for tone and hardness. Yes you can switch knobs if you like on your own but we do not offer different knobs as an option.

              Will this model be made with a Floyd Rose?

                  Make this in vintage white with a black headstock (like the old esp eclipses) and I know at least one person who will buy it.
