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.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Cooling fabric is Just what I needed
Color: 03-black, Size: 20" X 26" (Pack of 4)
I'm a hot sleeper. These cooling pillow cases are fantastic. It has ended soaked pillow cases. I paired these with waterproof pillow cases for extra pillow protection. I now sleep cooler and wake up dry. I also toss and turn less and wake up less frequently hot, sweaty and uncomfortable and I can sleep though the night. I don't need to flip my pillows over because of sweat. Both sides of these pillow cases have arc chill cooling fabric. They're soft, silky, breathable and comfortable to lay my head on. The colors to choose from is a wide selection. These look great on my king size bed. I love this fabric so much that I upgraded all of my pillows and blanket sheets to cooling fabric. I'm sold on these. The zipper is premium, sturdy and durable. My pillows fit perfectly on these cases. The cooling material is top notch high quality to me with great craftsmanship. I liked these ones so much that I bought more and plan to again. My partner seen and felt these and immediately went online to buy some blankets to go with the pillow cases I gifted. I also bought my son these and a few cooling blankets. These work best with a fan or air conditioner. Highly recommended and you won't regret this purchase if you're a hot sleeper to profusely sweating during sleep.
