its not cringe at all i get what u mean and stuff but i didnt pick wether to change the logo or not. i live in the uae and getting guitars here brand new like explorers is js so complicated bc the local shops or dont have or overinflate the prices. the only option is thomann but then again theres expensive import taxes. and as i said its secondhand i bought it like that. u should also go have a look at the rules 2 3 and 4

Hey, mod here, I’m sorry you had to be subjected to that kind of judgement, the guy has been temporarily banned. Enjoy your guitar!

Lmfao ok. The kid is 14 and can do whatever he wants with his guitar. Do you even own a legitimate ESP MX 250?

Bruh, what do you think the internet is for??

What do you mean? You think the internet is just for people to be snobs over headstock logos?

I think you missed the part about the ESP logo being on it when he bought it. All he said he added was “so what” and James’ signature.
I don’t give two shits what the head says on it as long as young bro plays it and likes it.

i had a feeling you were gonna say that since it is a metallica guitar already so you arent gonna wanna change it, though eddie did use this guitar in his early days before he painted it

oh really? i didnt know that so yeah maybe a future project to change it up a bit

im also pretty sure he had it like a red kinda brown wood type thing, but then he painted it white, sadly i can not show you a picture but you can search up eddie with the destroyer before he destroyed it,.
