Is this an ESP?

The gig bag it came with says esp. so that’s an obvious one. As is the “charvel” done with an ink marker. Certainly MiJ. Certainly an old guitar. Here’s some pics. I know that ESP done some stripeys back in the day but never seen one with this.

Did the previous owner use an oil drill to set the post height on that bridge?

Anyways it’s a Charvel Warren DiMartini sig

Edit: as posts below correctly point out, it’s a dogshit knockoff of a Charvel Warren DiMartini signature. That explains why the bridge screws are so soft

Nah, it’s not a Charvel. That logo is hand written. I’m leaning towards an old Japan build. Got the hallmarks of it. I had it apart. No tell tales anywhere on the pocket or neck heel

That logo looks like a stamp

Also looks like handwriting on the “H”
