Sorry in advance if this has already been cleared up in an earlier post. But I have recently purchased an ESP and was hoping to get some info on the Serial number. Its a real ESP (not LTD) The serial number is 'SS' (which I'm assuming stands for standard series?) and then is followed by 7 random numbers. Does anyone know what the numbers stand for?
