1990's LTD (by ESP Japan) MX130 Hetfield Explorer (Black Diamond)

1990's LTD (by ESP Japan) MX130 Hetfield Explorer (Black Diamond)I pride myself on being honest with my listings, so let me begin by saying i hate this guitar. It's a great physical guitar, but i think it's ugly and i find Metallica un listenable. I don't know why i said yes to it (probably because it's Japanese) and i've priced it to get it out of here as soon as possible (the last two went on Reverb for $3150 and $4400 over 6 years ago). They're very rare apparently. Made in Japan briefly in the 1990s 9hand

Great cosmetic and playing condition with some minor wear and tear as pictured

Looks to be all original as pictured with very light wear and had a professional headstock repair and spot refinish as pictured (although it's been done so well that it's almost undetectable)

the Greco EG-500 Super Power was a mid-tier model from the Japanese catalog

Has the Moon logo stamped on the neck heel but no logo on the headstock

An original Tokai design from the mid 1980's

American Basswood body wearing a transparent "Charcoal Red" finish (Fender Japan's method for accentuating some of the grain)

5" scale length)

so string replacement is quick and easy

Made by the Tokai factory in 2007

Reasonable vintage condition with a few dings as pictured

These are the boutique style range from the Kawai factory (in collaboration with Schaller) that were made in Japan in the 80's and 90's

Looks to be all original with Gibson branded tuners and pickups along with a black three-point bridge system
