Confusion regarding Hetfield ESP mx220 & mx-II
Confusion regarding Hetfield ESP mx220 & mx-II
Was looking buy a James Hetfield explorer, with the banana headstock and the more rounded upper wing, similar to what's seen in the attached pictures, and I was wondering what the difference is between the mx220 and the mx-ii, not just aesthetics but when they were made as well. price varies quite a bit between the two, and I cannot find anything on the internet. Thanks
Pushead No worries. I didn't change my name. Jason is EXPCustom, I've always been ESPEXP. Oddly enough though, EXPCustom did own both of these guitars at one point.
That photo is an MX-220. The 220 is based on the original 1958 Gibson body shape. The 250 is based on the 1976 reissue shape.
Here's a photo from member EXPCustom of an MX-220 vs an MX-250.
The MX-250 became the MX-II.
