Description: 

An all original, very clean 2000 ESP Custom MX250 crafted by the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, imported directly from Tokyo. Identical to the famous all black model as played by James Hetfield throughout the late 80s and 90s. This most likely belonged to a collector and seems to have seen almost no use. ESP stopped taking orders outside of Japan for these "forbidden headstock" models quite some time ago and ended all production of them in 2021.

This one shows a small 1/2" finish scratch on the back of the body by the neck heel, but it does not penetrate the finish and is purely a cosmetic issue. There is also a couple small dings on the top edge of the body that have been professionally touched up and are hardly noticeable at all. Besides that, only a few very minor surface marks, but no other notable blemishes or damage. Almost zero fret wear Mahogany body, maple neck, ebony fretboard, all black hardware, EMG 60 in the neck and EMG 81 in the bridge.

This is one for the collectors; this might be one of the cleanest example of this rare gem you'll find. Overall a nearly 30 year old collector's item in excellent condition, And an incredible playing guitar.  

Has been carefully and thoroughly inspected and set up by our tech. Includes original ESP soft case.

Ben Solo’s fall is tragic
Format: Paperback
We don’t know much about Ben Solo’s past, but this comic explains a little bit more about why he is the way he is. It also explains that he didn’t do all the things he himself implies in TLJ. It’s a story of a young man who is lost because those he is supposed to trust betray him, which is exactly what Snoke/Palpatine want. It shows he didn’t really have a choice in the path he took and it makes his redemption at the end of the saga powerful, even if the last movie itself destroys the myth of Star Wars. I love knowing that Rey and Ben have always had a connection and I hope that is something explored more deeply in Episode X when they bring Ben back.

Answers a lot of questions
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this story. This fills in a lot of gaps left open from the sequel trilogy, and the artwork was pretty cool. Excellent coloring and layout.

Better than the Chronicles
Format: Paperback
I hope DC keeps on publishing these omnibus series up to the silver age and also the softcover option. I much prefer these new softcover editions over the older chronicles series for several reasons. These STGA softcovers are very big almost twice the stories compared to the chronicles and at a very affordable price. Actually a very good price. Also the paper is one hundred times better, I hated the chronicles' paper. Amazon is wonderful too, they now deliver my comics to my house in Costa Rica in less than a couple of weeks, they always arrive before the scheduled time. Excellent service. The only thing to complain is the reproduction. I consider that Marvel makes better efforts than DC to restore their GA stuff. The Cory Sedlemeier books like the Marvel Comics Golden Age omnibus look like they were drawn this morning. DC is usually quite cheaper and prefers not invest in that. So we get the same results as the old early 2000s Archives. I know today it is impossible to get original art pages of action comics 1-10 But I still think that compared to Marvel DC is very lazy and a skintflint when it comes to restoring their old books.

Got it for my college class, it was a required text.
Format: Paperback
Got this book for one my college class, no joke this was a required text. But overall it was an okay read, only reason why I gave it a 4 out 5 is because I prefer to read books for enjoyment and interest, reading a book for class takes that away.
