6stings Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Here's my new Blue! A 10% smaller body with Mini humbuckers. Perfect for a 5 ft 6 guy like me. Hm, I have to figure out how to attach the pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosquito3 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thank you for posting video of your Explorer Nice sounding guitar! What amp are you using? Sure you have, amico! How did you know I'm Italian? It's written somewhere or my english is that bad that only an italian could speak the way I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's written somewhere or my english is that bad that only an italian could speak the way I do? I use Dr.Z Z28 and Frenzel FM-5E3DP3. Where can I hear you and your Gibby? 'Pace a voi' Who else would use the Italian citation? Nothing's wrong with your English, it's not my mother tongue either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosquito3 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 'Pace a voi' Who else would use the Italian citation? Oh, hehe, I'm pretty absent-minded, sorry. I didn't remember I had that italian phrase in my signature Well, this is the only recording i've ever uploaded on youtube. Has been recorded with one of those microphones integrated in headphones so the quality is rather horrific. The guitar is my 1985 Explorer directly plugged in a Blackstar HT-5H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Very cool color. Was it custom or a factory color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stings Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Very cool color. Was it custom or a factory color? Cheers pfox, it is a factory color, this one is 'studio blue', my older son has one in 'studio copper', I think they discontinued those with minibuckers in '03-'04, but I may be wrong... The ash body model had the 496R/500T, the others had ceramic mini buckers... Here's some facts I found on ZZ Sound http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/X-PlorerStudio-3fc61717501616883bf4155ab125a791.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6stings Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I just bought a 2005 Gibson Xplorer Studio in studio yellow. Can anyone share info to know why is it discontinued and how many were made Thank You Congratulations! It's interesting that it has standard humbuckers. Except for the Ash version, all of them came with minibuckers. I have no idea why they were discontinued, Gibson made some other Xplorers with smaller bodies and standard humbuckers later.
