P90s and "Explorer" Fans....

Does not seem like 10 years but it has been. Idea for this run happened in late 2004 early 2005, idea proposed to Elliott at Dean HQ in February 2005, and by June we had 16 commitments and the Prototype to be mine when the run came in. It is the slightly Yellower one in the center top and on my lap. I almost traded it for the one I posted here that the serial number ended in 747. Great top veneer on all of them but that one and the proto were my favs.

Took about 5 and a half months to get them in but by December 1st we were getting ready to ship them out.

Victoria, mine, has had Duncans from a 1996 Hamer Studio Goldtop put in it. Seemed fitting as the run was inspired by the guitar in the last photo a custom order Hamer Standard.

Felt like a proud papa checking out all of them. I had promised everyone a three shot group of each guitar and the group shot.

Very cool. Do you know all the guys (or gals) who got the other ones? It's so b-tchin', how do you bring yourself to play any of your others?

Here is my humble entry into the Explorer with [sort-of] P90's category. It obviously doesn't compare to something custom built by Dean, and it's just cel-phone pix, but I still think it's a beauty. 2006 model with two P-Rails neck models. All the hardware except the bridge and switch has been converted to gold (I'll get around to that some day, and it will be an ABR-1). The pickguard is one I had custom made in order to eliminate the "cut corner" near the bridge that modern Explorer guards have. I might put a gold Maestro Vibrola on it some day too.

I should also mention that I have Phat Cats in my Explorer, and they sound great in that all mahogany body.

P90s and a solid Mahogany body are indeed a great match.

I just hadn't put them on yet in that shot above.
