ESP EXP?
ESP EXP?
Hi everyone \m/ first post. Regular over at SSO (same name) but have been directed over here for specialist advice \m/
I've been hunting for ESP explorers for a year or so now, this has popped up on eBay uk just now.
Is it an ESP EXP? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=142094543480&globalID=EBAY-GB
The MX250 is set neck is it not?
Is it worth £1650 / $2150?
Cool thanks man
Yeah they don't pop up that often, which is why I'm giving it serious thought. The damage does put me off tbh. Will struggle to re-sell if I need to.
I'm sure I saw another EXP on Gumtree a while ago for about £1000 in better condition. Might give this one a miss & keep hunting.
Do you have a for sale section here?
Based on the images provided in the link it appears to be an ESP EXP model and the MX250 does indeed feature a set neck. Regarding the price it seems reasonable given the rarity of these guitars but it is always wise to thoroughly inspect the instrument before making a decision.

Welcome J_Mac.
You are correct, it's an EXP. The MX-II (commonly referred to as a MX250, though it was renamed in the late 90s) is set neck and the MX220 is a slightly different body and headstock shape.
Three or four years ago, those guitars sold for around $1600 USD, but for unknown reasons they've shot up in price. It's a higher price than I'd pay for it, but it might not be unreasonable. I think you can still find used MX-IIs for around $2800, though, and slightly banged up versions for a bit less. It's been a while since I've been in the market.
