It's amazing. I think Gibson did a mistake, lol. It's The most light weight Explorer that I played. It has a perfect balance. It's far way better than my LP's. '12 standard & '18 classic.

Love It. But it's really important for me that a guitar don't have neck diving. Usually I play stand Up.

I have seen that one, and it is pretty cool, but there's something about the symmetry (or lack thereof) that sorta bugs me.

I had a 2017
But it had a slight twist in the neck.
And I was unable to get it corrected.. and I foolishly sold it.
Cheers

Actually yeah, now that you mention it, that was one of the first things I noticed about my Explorer when I first picked it up too, was that it was way lighter than I had expected it to be. I haven't changed anything about it either, aside from the pick guard. The pups are stock and I have no plans for changing anything else other than the strings once in a while. I did have to solder a new jack in it one time.
I bought it from a guy who originally got an amp from one of the big stores, showed up broken, so they sent him a new one, and it too was broken. So he sent it back and got in-store credit, used it towards a brand new 2016 Explorer T.
He told me "the damn thing won't stay in tune, and I'm sick of dealing with that store, so I'm just going to sell it for cash."
I saw the ad on Craigslist, and emailed the guy. I asked to see receipts and such as I suspected it may be stolen, based on his pricing. He provided them, and so I went over there.
First thing I noticed was that this guy didn't know how to wrap his strings around the tuners.
I offered him $600 cash and he took it, and I walked away with a brand new Explorer. I put fresh strings on it, and it's been one of my favorites ever since!
I always ALMOST felt bad about it, because the guy's guitar was perfectly fine. He just didn't know that his own string job was trash.
