Keep the Explorer. Sell the Iron Cross.
A newbie Metallica fan will snap it up quick smart.
Personally I'm not keen on the Iron Cross guitar, yet I have two Les Paul-style ESP guitars myself (my only two).

I do have a photo so will post it later. The background is not that impressive though (cupboards, barbecues...
I've heard of them but don't know much about them sorry. I think they are like the MarkI? (think Santana smooth lead tones). I could be wrong though.
