should have the circle logo on the back also i think. i have two kiso esps here that have the circle logo on the back. my other esp also has the circle logo although it is a standard series.

well I am certainly no expert. what year was it made? looks like a nice one.

I can comment about the shielding; it looks just like the shielding I have an all my custom shop ESPs...

You can buy shielding paint at Stew-Mac....obviously someone added it to this guitar.

Not sure why you'd have shielding or the ground tab on a guitar with EMGs..

 

[Pushead]

There's shielding in mine/your old one. The guitar looks good to me. There wouldn't be a circle logo as it was made for the Japanese domestic market, they didn't put those logos on it. Yeah, 2006 Kiso shop.

edit -

Here's the neck pocket area.

Yeah, it looks good to me too man. Nice score! I love the White Explorers! They just look and feel so fine to me, I never found one I gelled with. By the time I was able to earn a decent amount of money to buy one, ESP discontinued them.

 

[camrock]

Yep. Looks legit.

 

[metalfan32]

Looks legit. Serial number looks right and this mx shouldn't have the esp logo on the back of the headstock.

The only thing that bothered me is how far the neck pickup pocket seems to be from the neck, but that might just be because there is no pickup ring or pickup installed.

Otherwise, looks good to my untrained eye.
