Well it's not gonna be a Les Paul, or even a SG, but it looks awesome!!

I've finally decided to pull the trigger on the Gibson Explorer Bill Kelliher Golden Axe!! I'm stoked and ready for this thing to get here!! The geet looks amazing and I've heard excellent things about the pickups as well!! Hopefully it will be here by Wednesday!!

So here is a stock pick of the "Golden Axe"!

They have the Lace Nitro Hemi pickups! Plus coil split for each individual pup!
 
Re: N(incoming)GD!!! Gibson Content... EXCITE!!

Awesome, thats a great looking guitar. Look forward to hear your feedback on the Nitro Hemi's, essentially everyone in stoner/slugde/doom are using them these days.

Yknow I never noticed before...is that an extra switch on the horn or just some ornamental doohickey?

Ornament. Most of the Mastodon signatures or even customs have an icon like that. Check out Brent and Bill's custom first acts or Troy's signature Fender Jaguar bass.

Must you get an Explorer.

I really hate my Explorer going on 25+ years and counting. Its big. It has a undesirable image especially among the country and blues playing Strat crowd. The finish has started cracking and turned green.

But every time I decide to get rid of it, I pull it out and plug it in. As I shake my head in wonder, I must admit its really the best sounding and playing electric guitar I own.

Sir, you have picked a striking example of what Gibson is capable of creating. Really hope the Explorer turns out to be everything you want out of the guitar.

That looks painfully cool... and br00tally expensive :-)

Explorers are awesome. Comfiest and best sounding gibbies of recent years. Though I'd have gone with an Explorer Std + pup swap for much the same at a grand total of <$1k....but hey, I'm poor
 
Re: N(incoming)GD!!! Gibson Content... EXCITE!!

Well the explorer just came in and it look fantastic!! Finish is spot on, frets look amazing and it smell wonderful!!

Been waiting since this morning for the damn Fed Ex driver to show..

but anyhow, here are some quick non glamour pics!!



 
Re: N(incoming)GD!!! Gibson Content... EXCITE!!

Fretboard looks extremely nice!! Here is before and after conditioning..




And it does not have the standard routing..

And a clip! Off the cuff, and I'm not a metal player... So excuse my attempt!
