First tones. Boosted rythym channel, no noise gate.

Dude - that Warbird was SECKS!!!!

I was reading somewhere that the Epi had some advantages over the Gibson Hale model. This true???

If you are starting down an Epi Explorer collection path...may I suggest the Silverburst Thunderhorse as a companion?

I Love the Epiphone explorer especially this one! not only because i am a dethklok fan.

But there is nothing more sexy than a silveburst finish :7:

Well she's home now.

These pickups aren't bad at all, whatever they are
Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers.... Gibson 57+ copies from what I've read

Nice well rounded sound, not as punchy as most of my other pups, but they don't feed back much and they have a delightful tone.

This Neck is just a touch fatter than my goth explorer, and it's heavier too. But I think she's sexy!

this looks awesome!
for me personally explorer type guitars are really comfortable to play, too.

Congrats on this one!:cool3:

Tonight she got new strings, 11-54.
Drop B tuning, and once strings stretched in, intonated.
She sounds much better now.

Still going to need new pickups eventually.
Looking at ahb-1s, emg-x, or fishmans. Have to be gold.

Too bad they have to be gold, because I would recommend Lace Deathbuckers.

I've never tried lace before.

I put en mail into Duncan custom shop to ask about Mick Thompson ahb-3s in gold, but due to licensing issues they can't make em.

So either ahb-1 blackouts or emg-x or maybe try fishmans.

I support you on the 'buying of the guitar' thing... but I cannot condone the 'selling of guitars'. For those who are contemplating such reckless behavior... I have tried it... it's not all it's cracked up to be.

I get it that you sell one and then you buy one and you have new stuff. But you also have less stuff. That is not the goal at all!

Finally got around to recording this guitar and hearing it in a mix.

Sounds better than I thought it would with these pickups. I'm still going to have to upgrade these after a couple paychecks make up for Christmas.
