Re: TORN Between SG and X-plorer
I'm facing that dilemma now. However, I'll probably save up for the SG.

Woah....I'd normally go explorer in a second, but not that color. Go with the SG.

i'd grab the explorer just because it's the underdog. i seem to see a lot more people with sgs than explorers.

Re: TORN Between SG and X-plorer
Dude the X-plorers are 30 times more kickass. except you can't really play them confortably sitting down.. more of a standing thing.. at least in my experiance.. but that color
i'd prolly take the black SG
but with the right color i'd take a X-plorer anytime

Its not just the color, that explorer is made of ash and will sound bright and nothing like a regular explorer. A regular 76 Explorer would be a better comparison to the SG, given those two choices there, the SG wins IMO hands-down.

Re: TORN Between SG and X-plorer
mostly because I prefer mahogany on 24.75 scale guitars. I do like ash strats because ash is brighter and snappier and to me suits a strat nicely. But I personally wouldn't want that bright, snappy tone in an Explorer - I would want thicker and darker tone in that style guitar.

Definitely the SG. I tried a Swamp Ash Explorer last week, and was not impressed at all. Way tto bright for an Explorer and not "boomy" enough IMO.
The SG is obviously also tonally not the same as an EX, but at least an SG Standard sounds like an SG and not a strat :laugh2:
The explorer looks way cooler, no doubt. But an Ash Gibson is a sacrilege IMO, the Voodoos didn´t impress me for the same reason, all too bright and not "fat" enough :saeek:
BTW, Hangar18: Explorers are just fine sitting down, the cut of the lower bout rests perfectly along my leg (and in my experience most others). Flying Vs, on the other hand.... :smack:

Re: TORN Between SG and X-plorer
In this specific case I'd go with the SG since I also agree that Ash Explorers sound like s**t. Given the choice between the Explorer '76 and SG Standard, I'd take the Explorer every time. Of the three colors currently available on the Explorer, I'd take white as it has an ebony fingerboard instead of rosewood.

Re: TORN Between SG and X-plorer
I actually like the look of that explorer, looks hmm... RAW! But ive never played an ash guitar so wouldn't know about the sound. That SG looks tasty aswell, i personally wouldnt choose is because that shape dont suit me i think. Soundwise id choose the SG

That's easy, the SG of course! Better sound and looks...
