90s Mr. Win Phenix Custom Shop 1 OFF w/original case (ex ESP employee build)

So at long last I got some info about this thing.

After emailing back and forth with ESP USA and ESP Japan. ESP USA thought it was an ESP custom shop, ESP Japan says it was an ex employee who built it. So made by a Former ESP employee who builds out of Osaka Japan. Info on the Mr. Win brand is extremely limited online and everything is then translated from japanese into english. for instance this is part of what I got: "Custom order models of Mr. Win, the brand of the music farm leader who used to be in Amerika-Mura." Maybe dude was doing private custom orders out of the ESP factory for some extra loot which is why he is an "EX" employee; who knows. I've pretty much exhausted myself looking into this. I did ask ESP Japan for the name of the guy who would have been the maker so when I hear back I will update.

beyond its crazy looks and shape its actually not too difficult to play and sounds great. all of the materials used are top notch. I think the long lower attachment from the body to the headstock can be detracted but I haven't tried to do that.

Has sorta the Auerswald guitars look going on similar to the cloud guitar Prince had made.
