About This Listing

RARE ESP EXP Custom Shop Explorer Special Order Left Hand model with ultra low serial number. This is the lowest serial we have ever seen on an EXP, and this model has the early "ESP" branded tuners as found on the early models used by James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet of Metallica. In fact, This is very similar to Hetfield's own signature guitar, the JH-2 without the diamond plate cover screwed to the top. Very few of these were ever made as left hand models, and this is the only one we have ever even seen! We do not expect to ever see another one. 

This rare ESP Custom Shop guitar is part of the world famous instrument collection at Essex Recording Studios! Check out our official Essex Recording Studios website (more pictures there) and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TWITCH and YouTube! @essexrecordingstudios

International buyers are welcome! We ship to any country in the world! This guitar will be packed and shipped with love, care and respect! The guitar is in very good condition with normal marks for a guitar from this era - just watch the video here or on the Essex Recording Studios YouTube channel! You are welcome to collect the guitar in person if you are local to our studio in Southend, England at postcode SS1 1AB directly opposite Southend Central train station.

YOUR PURCHASE HELPS MUSICIANS and supports our studio! Buying from us directly helps support unsigned musicians and bands that struggle to produce professional music without help from major record labels these days. Thank you for your support!
