Description
ESPMX-2501998(METALLICAJamesHetfieldSignatureMODEL)
The ESPMX-250, a model that recreates the Explorer used by James Hetfield of METALLICA, a monster band that continues to make a name for itself around the world, is in urgent demand.
This is a model that was sold from 1991 to 2000 and is a reproduction of James' favorite machine that he has continued to use for many years. In 2000, production was discontinued due to a lawsuit from Gibson, and although ESP won the lawsuit, sales have ended. After that, the MX-2 was a model that was specially manufactured behind the scenes as a custom order product (specs and quality are the same as the MX-250).
The old ESP Explorer (MX-220, MX-250, EXP, etc.) body style was discontinued due to Gibson's lawsuit in 2000, and a new body shape EX was introduced. is. Since this series was a custom product manufactured in small numbers at factories in Kiso or Tokyo at the time, each guitar is of high quality.
The serial number of the guitar that arrived this time is 19058406, and if we apply the ESP serial standard, it was made in 1998. Mahogany body neck with ebony fingerboard and popular black finish.
Equipped with two EMG81 pickups. The year of manufacture can be determined by the alphabet written on the decal on the back of the pickup. This EMG has an IH description and was made in 1998, which matches the year of manufacture on the main unit's serial number.
Simple 2VOL 3way toggle selector control. EMG provides a wonderful tone that is noiseless and has great effects. An essential part of Metallica's sound! Enjoy the crunchy texture of the chops.

I never expected that the MX-250 would arrive at our store. Once, the MX-220 miraculously arrived in stock, but it sold out immediately. This model has a unique drive sound that is a little different from recent guitars.
I remember that Gibson released the Epiphone1984ExplorerEX in 2012, almost copying the control pot configuration of the ESPMX-220 250 EXP, as if to take advantage of the ESP. However, what is interesting is that the sound output is completely different from this guitar.
Of course it's for people who want to get the Metallica sound, but since this is really rare, there's a good chance that enthusiasts who know more about this guitar than our staff will pick it up. You can also try it out, so please feel free to use this Digimart form.
