I've got a washburn 12 string, but it's just acoustic (no electric pickups). I have some other stuff to trade (for the explorer), but I don't think youd be interested. At any rate I have:
- Snakeskin colored pickguard (not actual snakeskin) with a cr-vr-hr setup that I can wire any way you want, it has a standard 5-way and I have a few push-pull pots that I can put in
- Red epiphone guitar with an aftermarket strat neck and two humbuckers: Neck is a custom wind, it would sound closest to a cross between an AIIpro and Seth with none of the PG's agression. It's very complex and dynamic, sweet and full, and very very well defined for a neck bucker. Bridge is a Dimarzio 36th anniversary model bridge (upper 8K range w/ A5) - It's more aggressive than the neck pickup, but it's not as full or sweet. VERY even sounding, with the low mids being much more prominent than in the neck pickup. Great for slide on the lower strings, very lean paf sound.
So, that's about it, if you're willing to trade that explorer for two guitars and a custom strat pickguard, let me know.
Edit: by the way, the pickups in the epiphone are actually more valuable than the guitar itself - I'm using the guitar to hold/test them until I can find a luthier/tech who will work on a full hollowbody electric guitar. The 12 string is in good condition, with a few marks here and there, I'll post pictures if you're interested - as far as sound is concerned get a tusq nut/bridge and forget about it, with the plastic nut and saddle, this guitar sounds like church bells. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it wasn't much - probably about $400, and it sounds like it cost $1000. If you're interested, I can try recording a sample with it, but I don't know how good the built in microphone is on my laptop.
