ESP Navigator Serial

[frank1985]

Here's the serial of an ESP Navigator Standard N-LP 380 2001
Can anyone verify that it is what's being advertised? Also what are those white marks around the tuners...I've seen them on a few guitars.

The marks around the tuners are from where the original Klusons mounted - they have been changed to Grovers.

Sorry, I don't know about verifying the serial number, can you contact ESP?

I have a 2012 Navigator Limited N-LP-480. The serial is 12 1206 which means it was made June 12, 2012.
Yours was made June 1, 2001.
Mine also has something written in the bridge pickup cavity - E-0720. Not sure what that means though.
I also have a 2006 Navigator N-LP-380. The serials is 6 0906, so June 9, 2006. And the bridge pickup cavity has KK-24 written in it.
I imagine yours has something in the bridge pickup cavity too since it is a production model like my two.
I hypothesize E-0720 and K4-24 have something to do with the location of the build, and maybe production order or date information attached to it.
