    Hi friends,

    I am new in the forum but I have been using ESP and LTD guitars for many years.

    I recently bought this second hand ESP EXP and I would like to know if someone can tell me if it is an original or a copy.

    Regarding the factory model, it has changing the tuners, the bridge, the pickups and It has a Metallica painted logo.

    To the eye and to the touch it seems original, the guitar is very comfortable and it sounds very good but I would like someone who knows these guitar models well to confirm it.

    Thank you.

                I'm not expert but it looks real to me. Checks the boxes I was looking for.

                Just wondering why someone, who likes Metallica enough to put a big sticker on the guitar, would take out the EMGs in favor of Duncans... but to each their own.

                  Thanks for your opinion Talon.

                  I don't understand it either, I will probably install the EMG James Hetfield pickups.
