What Guitar Do You Have???
- Thread starter joper88
- Start date
I have an Ibanez RG550, with the pick ups replaced with EMG 81 at the bridge, EMG HZ in the middle and EMG 85 at the neck positions. I also changed the metal hardwares like the tone and volume knobs and did some re-wiring on the electronics and pick-up selector. Yeah, that’s about the only changes I made, the rest are all stock. It’s an old guitar man, it’s been with me for 11 years. It’s chipped on a few places, the bridge is a little rusty, the frets are worn but it still kicks ass and sounds awesome! There’s no way I’m getting rid of it. That guitar and me have seen too much and been everywhere.
I also have an ESP Explorer almost similar to what James Hetfield was using back in the Black album era. I’m not sure which year the production was made but it’s definitely a discontinued model. It’s equiped with EMG 81 and 85 on the bridge and neck positions respectively and I believe the guitar is all stock, with a bolt-on neck -- not a set-neck like James Hetfield’s guitars. I found this baby at Guitar77 at the basement of Excelsior Hotel with the original hardcase for free. It’s a second hand guitar but it plays and looks brand new. The only blemish is its got a chip on the lower horn that’s been painted over. But it’s nothing major, I’ve always wanted to be James Hetfield, so I don’t mind shelling a few bucks for this rare and hard to come by axe.

Sounds nice. What colour is it? How much you got it for? I'm really digging EXPs with a vintage white finish.
On with the thread
ESP Mirage in Piss Green colour. Neck-thru, SSH rout. Original ESP LH-500 blade-style HB, LH-200 blade singlecoil-sized humbuckers. Licensed ESP Floyd bridge(discontinued).
It's all in black finish, with dot inlays and the word 'custom' on the headstock. I got it for $1500. I think the white EXPs are even more desirable too, if only I can get my hands on one...sigh. Maybe you can hook up with some Japanese dealers cos I think they’re still available over there. Check out this link:
