ESP MX VS LTD EXP 200
ESP MX VS LTD EXP 200
Just got this in the more rare 1st year 1997 LTD model with 2 dot inlay on the 12th & made in Japan with mahogany body.One source says only 300 made in 97.This guitar is beyond awesome! It has a Black Winter Duncan in the bridge & S.D. Jazz in the neck.The real McCoy MX is pricey and I could imagine tons better but how much better?I love this guitar so much I now want the MX.Any played or have owned both versions?
I've owned both, including a short period where I had both at the same time. Better is a subjective term. The MX is a nicer guitar, but for the additional price, it should be. You can feel it in the details; the finish, the frets, the neck. Is it worth the extra cash? It's something you'd have to decide for yourself.
If you or anyone you know wants to part with one let me know.Seen where one went for $3200 off ebay & guitar center end of last yr.Ones on ebay are too high right now.One guy just listed one for $3,600 has several customizations on it.Has a cool 0-100 sticker by the volume.Never seen one like that.Also has chrome bridge & tuners.Looks cool but I want mine black as spades throughout
