dleake Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hello I was hoping someone could help me identify what model of Explorer this might be. I've been told it's a unmodified Limited Edition 1994 model. To me the pick guard looks aftermarket as it's the big kind like you would find on a '58 reissue. I haven't been able to find any info on a 1994 Limited Edition model. Maybe it's a Custom Shop model? Also the serial number (94 14625) seems strange to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Here's a few photos - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken from: http://www2.gibson.com/Support/Serial-Number-Search.aspx The pickguard looks normal size to me, but I'm not an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleake Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good info! Thanks capmaster! Interestingly enough I have a 1994 Les Paul Standard that has a normal serial number. (doesn't begin with 94) Now I wonder if it's some sort of Limited Edition or just a regular production '76 Reissue Explorer with swapped out plastic?

capmaster Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 My guess would be a Limited Edition, but on the other hand she looks very much like an Explorer "Standard" so to say. They don't make many of them though, so they seem to be a long row of "limited editions" to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
