As you said, absolutely insane, awesome video and really great work GH !!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@GuitarHoarder]

Thanks mate! I couldn’t believe the price when I first saw it, had to really focus my eyes to make sure I was reading it correctly 😂😂 🤘🎸🤘

[@jimihendriks82]

Truly a legendary guitar, especially if you are a Hetfield fan. But I wouldn't pay that money for a guitar even if I had that much...just insane! Great video bro! 🤘🤘🤘

[@GuitarHoarder]

Completely agree Jimi! Such a cool axe but there’s better things to spend that amount of money on! Even if you’re a billionaire 😂🤘🎸🤘

[@Northwoodschickenchaser]

@@GuitarHoarder I will say that if you have the money and somehow got to play one for sale it might be hard to say no lol

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@Northwoodschickenchaser haha! That’s how I ended up with half of my guitars 😂😂

[@AFXSnares]

Two grand max, guitar prices have gone pants on head retarded recently due to a ton of new ‘collectors’ pricing actual players out of decent gear.

[@GuitarHoarder]

Tell me about it man! Can’t buy any nice guitars these days without using your house deposit! You’ll have the guitar but no where to live! 🤘🎸🤘

[@MrJak427]

std MX-250’s are in the 10g range actually a MX-130 would be a 2g guitar now 😅

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@MrJak427 10k is still cheaper than what this guy wants! Not that I’d pay 10k for one Guitar 😂🤘🎸🤘

[@MrJak427]

@@GuitarHoarder I was more replying to afxsnares comment on a mx-250 Bering a 2g guitar 👍🏻

[@abbagil]

I am happy with my ESP man to wolf from Rare Electric Guitars and I only paid $450.

[@GuitarHoarder]

I need to try one of those man! 🤘🎸🤘

[@A7Tones]

Didn’t they shutdown???????? I tried to look them up and couldn’t find them

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@A7Tones no idea dude! There’s always one of those knockoff mobs closing & a new one starting up!

[@blakechristenson1588]

Not everything is priced to sell. Some things are priced to keep… this is one of those things.

[@Liberty_76]

Yeah that seller is a clown he’s had that guitar for sale on eBay for YEARS and every few months he jacks the price up

[@GuitarHoarder]

Yeah I’ve seen him around for years also! I’m in strong belief that his missus wants him to sell his guitars so he has rediculous prices on them so they don’t sell 😂😂

[@Northwoodschickenchaser]

Doesn't Japan still make the mx250? But they can't be shipped to America?

[@GuitarHoarder]

I thought I’d read somewhere that they don’t make them at all anymore - could be wrong thou 🤘🎸🤘

[@Northwoodschickenchaser]

@Guitar Hoarder I'd love to get my hands on one but to get a used one in the states is 15-20,000$ and I was thinking that if you can buy them new in Japan for 5,000$ a trip to Japan might be cheaper lol

[@hypermoose5794]

I’ve never used eBay before and I found a listing for a black one for 177 dollars with 100 dollar shipping. Is that a scam or just a cheap knockoff

[@GuitarHoarder]

Sounds like one of the cheap Chinese knockoffs! Anyone who owns the real thing knows what they’re worth and wouldn’t be selling them so cheap 🤘🎸🤘

[@lluisarmengol6726]

this is ridiculous... the price is higher/same as an original vintage 1959 Les Paul burst. Not even James' own has this value.

[@GuitarHoarder]

Exactly! It’s insane! I’m guessing his missus wants it gone and he’s put a rediculous price on it so it doesn’t sell 😂😂

[@wrongbeach35]

The prices on all of these ESP Explorers are silly

[@GuitarHoarder]

They are aren’t they! I’ve always wondered around what year did they become so popular which then drove the prices up 🤘🎸🤘

[@AlexGuitarrr]

wtf... i first thought that inflation hit there more than everywhere else.....but as you said u can afford 2 houses for that... :D fkn hell...i mean for a mega Metallica/James fan it would be an awesome thing to have a guitar like this. But who can afford that? :D srsly i dont know how much does it cost to let metallica play in your backyard, but if i had so much money that i could easily afford a 500k guitar i would let them play in my backyard :D

[@GuitarHoarder]

Completely agree dude! Two thoughts come to mind. 1st - he’s been told by his wife to sell some guitars so he’s priced it to not sell 😂 2nd - he’s hoping to get 500k usd in order to have Metallica play in his backyard 😂😂 I wonder if anyone has ever contacted him to ask why the price is so high & what the response was? 🤘🎸🤘

[@AlexGuitarrr]

@@GuitarHoarder ahaha like the first one :D Hm maybe an interview with this guy could be a cool video idea. I want really know why the fkn 500k?! And if someone actually would buy it

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@AlexGuitarrr now there’s an idea!! An interview with him 🤔 I’m still sticking to the story that his wife wants him to sell guitars & he’s over inflated the price to keep them 😂😂

[@AlexGuitarrr]

@@GuitarHoarder we need to know the truth! haha :D

[@hunterbiggums5960]

Things like this are only worth what YOU are willing to pay for them. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

[@GuitarHoarder]

Completely agree with that man although there are times when things are rediculously priced like this one 🤘🎸🤘

[@ZERO.Guitar.Channel]

Well... This price is really buying artwork, but there are other better choices for ESP guitars😂

[@GuitarHoarder]

I honestly don’t think James Hetfield would buy it for this price. Even if he was desperate to replace his original Man to Wolf explorer! 😂😂

[@ZERO.Guitar.Channel]

@@GuitarHoarder I think if I want to buy ESP guitar, iron cross may be a good choice🤣🤣🤣

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@ZERO.Guitar.Channel I have the iron cross! It’s the perfect choice! 🤘

[@robertsterling76]

Look at the knobs on James guitar even in the catalog and they are way off on the one he is selling wouldn't buy it for 2000 let alone the crazy price he is asking there are people asking 20,000 for the bolt on exp model not worth more then 2000 tops there are always people thT will try to take advantage of clueless people beware of any of his guitars

[@GuitarHoarder]

Really good points there Robert! I haven’t been back to see if it’s still for sale, there’s no way someone would pay the money he’s asking 🤘🎸🤘

[@jamesmartin9740]

Half of those have fake emg pick up covers. All rusted out regular humbuckers under the covers. These are all fakes! I messages this seller and he sent me a hush emoji face like I was right. He got them from Ali express. 2 hundred a piece.

[@GuitarHoarder]

Wow how sneaking of him! Why would you send back a hush emoji to make it obvious they’re fake guitars! 🤬🤬

[@jamesmartin9740]

@@GuitarHoarder yeah, I may buy one off that site? I've been looking at them. The only thing is you have to upgrade it. Bone nut, 500k pots, locking machine head tuners. Better pick ups. Most have a fake emg pick up cover and no 9volt battery port. So those are the fakes. Active emgs need a 9 volt to work. They make copies in Chinese guitar factories. Tons of sellers that make this model with fake ESP logos on them.

[@wce74wce15]

tell him hes' dreaming

[@jamesmartin9740]

All fakes, about 250.00 a piece on Ali express. Fakes man!

[@GuitarHoarder]

Nice way to make a few bucks if you can get away with it! 🤘

[@MrJak427]

If it’s fake it’s more likely a std but real MX-250 with a low serial number that has had the fret board reworked to have the man to wolf inlays This guy had this guitar before those companies starting making those fakes if memory serves me correctly. I’m also lead to believe that James actually may have more than one of these MTW explorers. There was more than one MX-220 EET-FUK guitar built too!! Depending on the serial number some had slight differences. Like the out-put jack, neck joint.. and some may not have had the volute on the neck James asked them to stop when he found out So if the volume knobs are out it really doesn’t mean anything as these can be slight running changes in these things sometimes Proven by the MX-220 eet-fuk guitars

[@Kr1ssz]

hahaha all guitars are 100% fake! Aliexpress bullshits wiht passive pickups, dont make me laugh^^
