I have an older model of this exact guitar. It has the ebony fretboard and it has the model engraved in the 12th fret. I'm surprised they switched to rosewood, I've heard rosewood is getting phased out for ebony due to shortages.
@Wimya
Ай бұрын
I don't mind the model number not being on the 12th fret but I really do wish I would have gotten one with an ebony board. It makes the guitar just look a little more premium in my opinion. Regardless still a killer playing guitar though.

My Guitar center actually had both 401qm's on display and was able to compare both(: so my assumption is the 2019 models come with the brighter fret board because BOTH 401's i played were the 2020 models and had the darker tint on the fretboard! beyond stoked!

@@Wimya I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet... I can take it or leave it right now, but that little feature seemed to be an ESP trademark that customers looked forward to seeing. I own this guitar, but it's from a few years back, so mine actually has the model number on the inlay. However, I would have to imagine that many years from now, when this guitar becomes a sought after collector guitar, and it will because guitars of this caliber tend to become collectibles, there might be a huge difference in value between the ones that have the model inscription on the inlay, versus the guitars that do not have it. Collectors are sort of funny that way with little details like that.
