I need more GAS

[Blue_Fingers_Jay]

I've been GASing for an Explorer for years, and I'm starting to seriously consider getting one.
Any Explorer (Gibson or not I don't care) owners?
Post some pics, any color, any brand, yours or not I just want to suffer with GAS for the next hours :approve:

Here's my youngest sons Gibson Explorer Studio... Alder body with MiniBuckers......

It's great guitar, very comfortable to play and well balanced! Looks like it would go with your user name too! Lol

That explorer is the only one I have ever found to be awesome.

d1dsj wow I didn't know they made those, altough I would prefer a natural finish, mini humbuckers in alder are AWESOME, it must have a beautiful tone. LOL@color and username combo. And you're right they are balanced and conortable guitars, I wasn't expecting that at all.

C'mon Cream that's not nice, I'm trying to GAS for one thing at a time LOL, I feel a guitar testing trip coming soon...

JOLLY you read my mind bro, I was thinking about a natural finish and sticking some phat cats in it, how do they sound together? They look great.

KeeperOS aren't those RAN guitars? I friend of mine got a custom one, altough he didn't go for an explorer shape, but they are awesome, great construction and feel, I would go for one if I had that kind of money to spend. And the black and yellow one is awesome it just needs more knobs.

Yeah, they are, I was at their site asking for a quote for a Cruiser and was looking at their gallery for colors so.

BTW, 100% agree, it does need at least one more if not two knobs and PASSIVES!!! (never was an EMG fan in the least...)

Re: I need more GAS

i like that body shape.... i have an early 2000's Epi Explorer that has had a nasty neck break... I bought it cheap broken, brought it home in pieces... it's been repaired by me.... i'd play it more often but there is an odd issue with the low E string... the other 5 strings sound alive while the low E is dead.... can't figure that one out but it's not that bad....

new, i bet that broken Explorer was a hell of a good sounding neck and body for a cheapie... i've been wanting to pick up a real Gibson one for years.... i also had plans at one point to build a 25 1/2 scale one with a Floyd from Warmoth parts

This is one of my new favorite guitars I will probably never own.
