LTD Explorer pre-lawsuit
LTD Explorer pre-lawsuit
I bought this Explorer a while back from a Guitar Center for $175, figuring they had made a mistake appraising it. I've tried to figure out what model it is, but I can't find anything that it matches 100%. The tuners say "Made in Japan" and the serial number is on the neck plate. The guitar plays like something worth about 10x more than I paid for it nearly 10 years ago. Anybody know how to positively identify it?

Would you interested in selling it
Sorry it took me so long to see this. I spaced it out I guess. I'm holding on to it for now. Not sure what's even worth. I've got dots on twelve but the neckplate isn't engraved but it's the same shape, has serial number stamped at the end of the fretboard kinda like some Jackson's have. I checked, not a Jackson number. That would suck! I'd sell it then haha
This 97 guitar gave this awesome hobby a spark to me!I've always had a Strat or L.P. shaped guitar.The neck feels perfect.The creator of this thread said he would put his up against his guitars that cost over a $1,000 + and he's right.Again I can't brag enough on the neck it's so fun & comfortable to play
It's an LTD EXP-200. I think the earliest model had the dots at the 12th fret instead of the block LTD. I don't remember if mine had ESP on the neck plate, but they're easy enough to replace if the previous owner decided to.
