Re: Gibson Explorers Love or hate?
I hate it when Jolly posts his natural Explorer because it reminds me how much I'd love to have his matching natural Explorer/V duo.
For what it's worth, the only pointies I'd ever own would be those in either natural or cherry.
I haven't owned an Explorer since I was 13. It was a white Cort Explorer copy my mom got me from the Sears catalog.

Re: Gibson Explorers Love or hate?
While I wasn't a huge fan of the looks, it did play really well, stayed in tune better than any Gibson I've ever owned and is the best sounding Gibson I've ever owned. I loved my '76 RI and I still kick myself for selling it, but the 60's slim taper neck just wasn't the right fit. It sounded so much better than the SGs, Les Paul Standards, Les Paul Doublecuts and Firebirds I've owned - it really was something else! There was such a quick response to the guitar, but with that fat lowend LP chunk with better clarity.

Re: Gibson Explorers Love or hate?
love explorers! i only have an Epi Korina finnished one so far and love it... mine is about 8 years old, has a maple neck that got snapped in half and i glued it back together... and it still sounds great thru my Marshalls with the stock PU's....
i do love the idea of getting a Gibson one... really like the new Trem model in White with a FRO on it... they say it's a limited model... but a white one with a TOM is just fine by me too

$1399 is the current MAP price for a new one, you can get a better deal and I would never pay that much.

thanks for that. I thought the OP said the guitar he played was listed at 1,400 in bad condition.

One Simple word, and I'll leave it at that. ;
UBER-FRAKIN'-PwNAGE;
Hee-hee..Jollys gonna have a sh!t fit.
Naw, I realize that Gibbos are more organic and all that, and Jollys beuatiful Explorer has always been one of the greatest guitars on the forum IMHO. Man, I've never played a Gibson Explorer, but i bet they sound great.
I will say theres something about a Jackson Kelly that just feels exactly right to me , and One day I hope to have a beautiful Kelly USA much like the one in the picture above.
I do gotta say that I have a voracious loathing for a Explorer with P90's or anyone who thinks thats cool.. To me, thats just DEAD WRONG!!
