2004 LTD EX-400 BD serial:W0408780. I got this guitar somewhere around 2005, Metallicas 'Some Kind Of Monster' documentary had just come out and in it James Hetfield was an ESP guitar with a metal diamond plate on the front, I wanted it, and this was the closest I could find at the time. But since learning I was never going to be a metal god its been sat in the corner of the room just looking awesome.
