Gibson Explorer Diamond Sparkle 2001

[redwine006]

Hello all.

I'm new to the forum here and my research for this guitar brought me here, because I noticed a couple members may have/had one.

I have been searching like crazy for the 2001 Mars Music Exclusive Gibson Explorer Diamond Sparkle. I see listings for them but unfortunately they've already ended. Does anyone know of one that may be for sale or where might be the easiest place to come across one other than reverb?

Thanks in advance guys.

Welcome to the forum! Keep watching Reverb, Ebay, Guitar Centers Used listings. Try a Google search for one for sale and it may pull up a random listing from the web. As an explorer lover, you have me very curious to see one now!!!
Good luck with your search!

NICE!! just googled and found this : Sadly, this one has been sold, but A) I was able to check it out and B) gives you an
idea of different places you find with a search..

So watch Gbase too!

You may want to look at the Tommy Thayer Epiphone White lightening Explorer. (Unless you are only interested in a Gibson) The Epi isnt quite as sparkly, but it has some sparkle in the nice pearl type finish.. Pictures dont really let it show as well.

Wow! thank y'all for the helpful responses! I'll keep my eyes peeled for sure.

I looked into the Thayer model and played one but I wasn't much of a fan unfortunately :/ Beautiful guitar though!

Setup watches/alerts on Reverb and Ebay. Other than that, frequent searches. Also post WTB at the Les Paul forum, gear page, etc.
