As for ESP, here is the story if I remember correctly.
Around early 90s, when N4 became one of the popular guitars in Japan, ESP launched this guitar as "Unofficial" regular line-up. I call it unofficial cuz it was never on catalog, web site or even ads on magazine. You can only find this guitar in ESP shop, hanged on the wall hidden behind other ESP guitars.
As you know, SEC is patented, so they dare not to put ESP logo on the headstock just in case blah blah... you know why...
The only way you can identify it as ESP is from its tuners with ESP logo on them.
I think it disappeared from the market when MIJ N4 was introduced in Japan.
All the models I have attached are late 80s, early 90s models.
