The difference:
The picture beneath shows the buyable ESP JH-3 signature model. As it can be seen the purchasable version of the JH-3 model has different control knobs - which are black instead of the golden ones on James' guitar. On James' guitars the accents on the guitar's edges are golden instead of the white of the buyable version of the JH-3.
