A custom ESP?
Maybe it's possible to have one like that built in the ESP custom shop.

James' ESP Explorers in general:
They are all based upon the standard ESP EXP serie and were built or overseen by Matt Masciandaro. Meanwhile the EXP serie has been replaced by the ESP EX standard serie which has a sharp shape for its ends and headstock instead of the old EXP serie which was comparable to the rounded shape of the Gibson Explorers.

Identical to the EXP model:
The body consists of mahogany, the neck of maple and the fingerboard (with its 22XJ [XJ=extra jumbo] frets) of rosewood. All hardware (the tune-o-matic bridge, the stop piece and tuners) is black. It has one volume control for each pickup.

The specialty:
There is a slight difference between this Explorer-shaped guitar James' and other Explorers, this one has a modified headstock. This guitar is no "stock product" - in other words: it's a special design.
