@flatfourfan: I'm a bit of an Explorer-fan myself... Beautiful example that. (Ever considered a black scratchplate?) The two gibson's I haven't tried yet is the SG and Explorer. They're on my future to-do list for sure... Also quite a fan of the original ESP explorers but then your're talking big bucks and they're not readily available...
Hey Z. I've always loved the shape, but before this one, I never actually played one. Now I can't put it down. She's actually in a sorry state and not as good as she could be. Still it's fired me up to base my next build on a mix between a Ibanez/ destroyer and a Gibson/ Explorer and a Hamer, kind of the best parts of all three all rolled into one.
It had a black plate on it out of cheap plastic and I never really liked the colour, the guitar didn't pop enough.
I will say this though. This guitar with a decent density body would be an earth killer of note.
