ESP JH-2 (James Hetfield Diamond Plate Explorer) Limited Model

ESP JH-2 (James Hetfield Diamond Plate Explorer) Limited Model

The extremely valuable James Hetfield model of the monster band "METALLICA", which continues to be famous all over the world, is now in stock.

"ESP JH-2" Diamond Plate Explorer.This piece is thought to have been made around 1998 and weighs 4.55 kg.

This is one of the rarest of James' signature models, and the fact that only 200 pieces were ever made makes it even more rare.It's the last signature before James begins to move away from the classic MX250 shape and abandons the Explorer altogether.
Also at this time, ESP and LTD-produced Explorers became increasingly rare as ESP announced that it would no longer produce guitars in the classic MX250 and MX220 EXP shapes, and would no longer accept custom orders.
Due to Gibson's pending lawsuit, sales in the United States other than on the used market are prohibited.

Of the 200 produced, the first 100 have a serial number on the last fret, but there is nothing here, so we can assume that it is between 101 and 200.

Bolt-on quarterson maple neck to mahogany body.The rosewood fingerboard has 22F and extra jumbo frets.The Metallica logo is printed on the first floor of the fingerboard, and the pickup uses EMG's "81/60" combination.

All accessories are missing and the instrument is in player's condition, which means it has been used, but the wiring etc. are all original.A phantom model that once you lose it, you might not be able to get it for several years.This Explorer is the holy grail for Metallica fans and Metallica collectors who play guitar.
