This ESP Explorer look fake to anyone else?

Looks like a obvious fake to me but I've been out of the ESP market for a while.

Did you even read the description ?

Does anyone else find it mildly entertaining to read the descriptions of ebay ads? The only thing that's not real is the wood? Sounds legit.

I think we both know the answer to that is no ....

Fretout, that line about the wood was great, and also $500.00 for shipping

Yes I did read the description. He says it's the same model ESP as Hetfield uses. Obviously it's not a real ESP at all so how can it be the same model?

"Economy" shipping at $500.

His English is poor. IMO he's trying to pass it off as a real ESP but saying he's modified it to be a replica to Hetfields Of Wolf and Man explorer.

Don't get the everything is real but the wood comment. Obviously he doesn't either.

I didn't read it that way but I can understand how you might ... either way the fact it has ESP on the headstock and isn't an ESP makes it a fake and should be reported to ebay as so

It seems he may mean that all the modified parts are the same as what is on Hetfields guitar, and that the wood is the only thing that is not "like" Hetfields.
