The guitar is in 100% ESP factory original condition. In addition the guitar is in Mint condition with NO noticeable play wear. This guitar was kept by a guitar collector its entire life and with the original point of sale ESP logo gigbag. Original MSRP pricing was many thousands of USA dollars in the 1990s

It is public knowledge that a black and white striped guitar was released by ESP in the early 1990s. As well a red and white striped 5150 ESP was known to be produced and manufactured by ESP Japan and released. These facts are known by ESP collectors and there is information in the public domain to verify these facts.

The story on this version ( black and white striped ) is that it is the more collectible of the ESP Replicas. This has to do with very few of these ever being seen and the fact that this ESP guitar has the Fender CBS big headstock which add to the value. The Early 1990s would make this the first production guitar ever made by any big name guitar brand.

These guitars were manufactured in unknown numbers with some speculation that less than 500 total of all early 1990s replicas were manufactured by ESP in Japan. Initially it was believed that all these ESP Replicas were sold only at the Ishibashi Music Store in Japan. That was later de-bunked. More guitars were distributed worldwide from this ESP replica project.

Additional information surfaced in the 2000s with the discovery of Japanese guitar magazines/publications that these guitars were touted as "exacting replicas"

In addition rumors amongst collectors has surfaced stating that ESP utilized, for this replica project.
