Metalus Maximus

Did the older ones come with Black Chrome hardware and the new ones with just plain black hardware?

Todd B. ESP

Hi, technically speaking black chrome and black are exactly the same. I don't believe these were ever a different color, but I can confirm they are black chrome (black) currently.

Are the 2011 Snakebyte made in the custom shop? Seems to be a lot of confusion over the older Snakebyte. 

Todd B. ESP

Hi,

Prior to 2013 ESP built some Signature Series models including the Snakebyte at our ESP Standard factory.

Since 2013 all ESP Signature Series have been built at the ESP Custom Shop. These will have a different serial number prefix starting with “K” or “E”.

Just ordered this in LH! I’m so excited- even if it takes a while to get. Is it true these are made in the actual ESP Custom Shop in Japan?

Todd B. ESP

Awesome, glad to hear that and thanks for sharing!

Yes it is true, all the ESP Original Series and Signature models are made at the ESP Custom Shop.

Is there any way I could custom order a Regular Explorer(Like the One James used to have back then) if possible.
