Harry's ESP Explorer Guitar 

those ESP explorers are pretty much the holy grail of guitars in my eyes, one day I will own one, I hope

This Wolf and Man riff he played must be the saddest version I've ever heard...

Amazing but shoulda had a ebony fretboard

Are you serious.?!!!!! "I haven't pulled it out of the case in 10 years" WTH.......... U bought an awesome guitar and yet you mock it as well as other guitarists by not playing that masterpiece. As a musician, I feel a bit insulted and I pity that poor guitar.

It sucks that they can’t make these anymore. Its not fair 😭

hetfield fanboi

Absolutely amazing guitar, i love this channel ;D

My dream guitar...

Sick a** Guitar. Didn't know they made them.. i agree with you about the EMGs, love to rip on that thing mannnnnnn! Love the videos where you show off you gear and the stories, really cool !

@2:52 "the quick connect does a little something to the EMGs, they kinda lose a little umph" yeah... that's not how electricity works bud.

That guitar is AMAZING!

James had a few diamond plate explorers his signature model diamond plate one was the same as the one you could buy bolt on and all...you can see the neck plate on some live shows the one with the elk heads is a completely different guitar...

Is it just me or is the Mountain Dew can just sitting on that Mesa head bothering anyone else?

Man, I miss 48th Street Custom. The guitars that they had there were amazing.

3:40 I actually played Hetfield’s JH-2. It was a bolt on neck, Diamond inlays, EMG 81/60, Diamond plate pick guard, brass nut, sperzel locking tuners

The guitar of my dreams

"uhhhhhh and uhhhhhh the uhhhh"..... spit it out junior!

My dream is to get an ESP MX250 - in lefty!!! Closest I've got is an LTD EXP-200: Korean made, 1998 I think, bolt-on maple neck (alder body), upgraded to EMG 81+60. Love that thing, will never part with it - lawsuit Explorers are hard enough to find, but left handed ones are insanely rare. I've only ever found one lefty ESP MX for sale and it was crazy money

Hi Harry I wanted to ask you if you could possibly do a video on the ESP Explorer that one you have right there and the Ken Lawrence Explorer both on the save video like a comparison in detail sound weight comfort detail description.

Yes man I love that black ESP Explorer. Could you let me know the wood specs on the body? Neck? And fretboard? And how the chunky neck of the neck feels

You are the only one on RU-vid that I've seen that owns both. It would be a really good interesting video to watch and learn from. If not if you could personally tell me the difference from both guitars. Much appreciate it . I am here in Southern California

Whoa, I almost bought that exact guitar when I went to 48th St. Small world.

Love these ESP Explorers but IMO, after owning many of both, my favorite one was the bolt-on neck version. To me the bolt-on neck versions just sound better? Not sure why.

If you could do another video just on that particular guitar would be sooo cool like trying out clean channel and dirty

do you know if I could still find it?

Love the guitar. But it rather brake than stay at this a**hole hands.

Is it not true Esp start to do bolt on and after they do set neck... They start with the mx.220 copying the white gibson used by James...and was set neck. After they do the mx.250, first proto in 1990/1991 for Hetfield and they was all set neck.

what kind of painting has in it?

so badass

It's nice that you had this guitar for so long, but you have to give it to me now. And I know what you mean about quick connectors. Solder is better.

Having watched these Metallica gear series gotta say that's one impressive collection and this is one is probably most wanted. I've seen these sell for 20k!

I didn’t know the set neck versions of these came with rosewood fingerboards just ebony

I have a 97 ESP explorer. You can see it at Given Hatred band on RU-vid. 🤘

I just love that guitar and I'm considering on getting one. Would you sell yours?? Figured I ask

Im curious do you just buy every Metallica ESP they make on principal?

I have a exp 102 ltd what is that?

I've had an Olympic white ESP explorer With an ebony fretboard that was a custom shop from Japan that I got around 2007 , And was an incredible..... instrument for sure. Just phenomenal . And kick myself in the Fuckin ass for selling it because I needed the money.

Settings on the amp?

damn i want one of those but if its only a lefty

It's wild to see one with a set neck and rosewood fingerboard. They're typically bold-on and rosewood or set and ebony. Very nice. Though the soda can sitting on the amp is giving me anxiety.

he really does suck at playing the thing

You must add a close up photos! I didn't know there is an e.x.p with set neck. Nice catch. Btw, on the back of the headstock it has "Custom Shop" or "Custom Guitar" logo? And I think that it's a shame and a waste to keep guitars inside their cases for that long time.. It wasn't made to be locked down. Play it, enjoy it. My 94 Esp explorer was also in someone's case for 15 years and not even at his own house but his mother's, and I'm glad I got to but it from him and let it see the outside if the case. These explorers are so goddamn good that it's a crime not to play them.

I know this is a pretty necro'd video, but there aren't many people I can ask 🤣 How do these compare to a good Gibson Explorer? I FINALLY scored one of these and am cautiously excited for it to arrive. It is a 1992 bolt-on model w/Floyd Rose. I'm curious what to expect, and I am trying to be realistic. I'm an owner of 3 limited-run Gibson Explorers (2011 Vampire Bloodmoon, 2014 Blackout, and 2014 Lzzy Hale white), a hand-made custom Ken Lawrence Explorer clone (made by a luthier in the Netherlands, EASILY the equal of all 3 Gibo's), and a surprisingly well made Epiphone EX 84 (playability-wise, tied for the best with the custom KL clone...tonewise, not close at all). I don't want to expect too much, but at the same time these are ESP custom guitars which, as I understand it, are some of the finest in the world.

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Uma puta guitarra e uma mão de alface dessa, é de arrepiar

thats the one they guy from green day uses, I mean metallica

im about to make one of these and slap a fucking esp custom sticker on that shit, fuck they gonna do, sue me?

wow never knew sal from impractical jokers played guitar

Harry what did you pay for it in 1997?

THIS GUY DOESN’T DESERVE TO OWN THIS GUITAR!!!!!!!!!

Lol 7:51

Just bought an ESP explorer from 93. I avoided purchasing the explorer simply because I didn't want to hear shit like you're trying to be like hetfield....same reason why avoided Dean guitars. So I stuck with flying v's since 1991.

it shouldnt take you 6 minutes to play the damn guitar

Heh... Even Metallica doesn't have that "magic Metallica tone" anymore. 😔

Stuff like this is why I can't support Gibson.
