Near mint Stephen Carpenter ESP SRC6 in white, been searching for one of these for a long time. This was from the first run in 1998. I still kick myself for missing out of Stephen's personal one that was on sale back in 2014 used on the White Pony tour which is one of my favorite albums.

I've only seen that cutaway on ESP bodies with M-II style guitars made in the 80's. I don't see it anymore, ala custom shop specifications aside of course.

Looks killer and also well maintained. A lot of times older guitars with ebony will have cracking of the fb near the higher registers because of poor oiling maintenance. Looks very well kept and not stuffed away in a case or from a collector :)
 
Looks killer. Wish they would stop putting binding on some many Horizons. This is how the contouring is supposed to look, but ESP doesn’t seem willing/able to do it right if there’s binding around the body.

Your Horizon has no body binding, so the contours are correct. Many modern Horizons have some form of binding around the body, and they don’t do the contours right.
