I like explorers a lot...but I am big time against the Gibson company these days, and I truly wouldn't care if Gibson discontinued everything. I'm not gonna buy a new Gibson anything. At this particular point in their history, they are a terrible company. They treat their employees like crap. They break environmental laws and ethics codes by illegally buying wood from protected national forests at a time of civil war. They cheat on their taxes and duties and then try to get people all mad at the government for doing something about it. They send their quality down the tubes, while simultaneously jacking up their prices to unfathomable levels. They use their "Made in the U.S.A." and "legendary" status as selling points, yet they don't live up to the meaning of those terms. Be glad that you can only get them used; they will be better quality and cheaper, and you won't be giving money to the company itself.
