[BFT Gibson]

I waited 55 years to long..into Explorers & V's ..got a V apart right now & wow does it fit against my leg for soloing standing up. Perfect position for lead runs

I like mine for sure.

I love me an Explorer. The white Epi '84 is LRT's

first explorer i bought was Gibson be 2 or something like that it was Gibsons cheapest explorer , when i got it i hated it didnt like it at all and send it back oh and it came with damaged neck.

sound was good it had dirty fingers set in it. but it didnt feel like £1000 guitar so i bought Esp Ltd snakybyte , i must say its taking me some time to get use to it as i always played Jacksons ..

I like em'.
Don't have one, but we all know how fast something like that can change.

Someday, I'll finish building mine.

I dont always GAS for guitars anymore,
but when I do it's mostly Explorers and Vees, including the Rhoads V.
Never held or played one, never been in a big music store.

Good GOD

V's are awesome since you can use your thigh to rotate the guitar. I really want an Explorer, but since wifey thinks they are ugly I will have to "work" it into the collection.

Too bad she doesn't like them. Mine has been wanting me to play an Explorer for years.

You're talking in past tense here...do you no longer have an Explorer in your stable?

No I no longer have an Explorer, it’s notes didn’t ring with authority, and I had to pay some bills, that where late, because of lack of work. :-(

 

[CoyotesGator]

Alright, I’ll play.

Mine is a little different.

 

[CoyotesGator]

 

[mcblink]

Yeah, that is a little different. What can you tell us about it? I've never seen one quite like that before.

 

[mcblink]

Does this one count? It's no Explorer, but it's similar enough, kinda

 

[CoyotesGator]

Gibson with a custom shop logo on the back of the headstock from 1985.

I saw it in the window of one of those creepy mall music stores and knew I had to have it.

Flat assed Ebony fretboard with the biggest, round neck profile I have ever held.

Kahler, and a lot of miles.

Factory Dirty Fingers still in the neck position and an older Seymour PAF style in the bridge.

That's an odd one, and cool.

Two of my korinas are Explorers.
