thecrunge Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hi all. I'm not a Gibson owner yet. But I have the opportunity to purchase a 1993 explorer. This is my dream guitar. I played it and it's in really good condition. But they're asking 1300 for it. Is that too much? Is the 93 line better than new? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I believe the neck profiles are different and the new ones use torrified Grenadillo instead of rosewood. If you've played it and you like it $1300 is not out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Any more specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrunge Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Well I missed out on it. Somebody else grabbed it while I was debating it. Oh well it;'s probably for the better. I think I'll save up for a better one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I would go for either a 2017 or 2018 vs the 1993. There are great deals on the 2016 model but they don't include a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get a 2016. I actually have a nice Explorer case I found at the curb. It was in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrunge Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 So you just find guitar cases at the curb by your house? Does it rain LP's where you live? I had a '00 Explorer and it was killer, but at the time I had about 13 guitars and let it go. While I had it my wife gave me s-hit all the time about it cause she thought the shape was ridiculous. The balance on them is phenomenal. Lol. I actually do find a lot of good stuff at the curb. Mostly electronic stuff. But this Explorer case is the first time I found a guitar case.

Megafrog Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Lol. I actually do find a lot of good stuff at the curb. Mostly electronic stuff. But this Explorer case is the first time I found a guitar case. That was a sign, a sign to get an explorer. I get signs too, they are from my wife telling me that I have too many guitars.
