  • The ESP EXP Series was a guitar model distributed by ESP. the ESP EXP Series also known as the ESP Explorer where a very high quality and mainstream guitar copy of the Gibson Explorer. it was most notably used by James Hetfield of Metallica. In 1997 Gibson filed a lawsuit against ESP Guitar's claiming that the ESP EXP Series and the ESP Eclipse Series where copy's of the Gibson Explorer and the Gibson Les Paul models which can not be legally copied. ESP had to change the body styles of the EXP series and the Eclipse series and Gibson's case would not be pursued this is why the ESP Explorer is often referred to as the "Lawsuit Explorer" they have the Gibson Explorer body style not like the EX series. The EXP Series is now the ESP EX Series with a more pointy and bent body style. The EXP Series is still available for custom order only in Japan.
