Gibson Explorer's where are they?

Re: Gibson Explorer's where are they?

my dream explorer would be a black flame top and no pickguard and white binding. I liked that smaller version Gibson did a few years back, but prefer to have a full size one. Or solid black,not guard and white binding. (like Lita's old Hamer)

I do LOVE my black explorer with mirrored pg!!

^^ You seem to be describing Formula_79's Hamer Standard with EMGs .

1997 Hamer Standard and 2004 Dean USA Z Pro two fine examples out there if you don't mind thinking out of the box. :headbang:



While Hamer is gone, Dean is still alive and making great Z guitars in Tampa. The Chicago Series USAs are straight out of the '70s Sweet and the import versions from Korea are not bad either.

Edited to add: The new boss of "Explorers". :headbang:

Pretty woods. If only they didn't have those weird headstocks.

Yeah. It was nice but since it was 1 of 1 I was always afraid of messing it up so I sold it a couple years ago.
