I recently purchased a ESP / LTD FM-408 8-string from an authorized Canadian ESP Dealer. However it doesnt fit with the description or picture of the FM-408 listed on the ESP website or in the 2008 catalogue.
See Typical specs here:
The ESP Guitar Company :: LTD Standard Guitars - FM-408
The model I have is a bizarre hybrid. The body (pick-ups, tone knob volume knob & switch configuration) is exactly like the STEF B-8 Model. The neck and head stock are as per the typical LTD FM-408 (right down to the 12th fret FM-408 inlay)
STEF B-8 specs here:
The ESP Guitar Company :: Stephen Carpenter Signature Series
Ive tried to contact ESP via their website (submitted my Serial number ect.) but Its been a few weeks and I have yet to hear back. Can anyone here shed some light on what Ive got here. Some kind of early run of the FM-408 or something else?
