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? [biggrin]

I use Dr.Z Z28 and Frenzel FM-5E3DP3.

Where can I hear you and your Gibby?

'Pace a voi' [biggrin] Who else would use the Italian citation?

Nothing's wrong with your English, it's not my mother tongue either.

Oh, hehe, I'm pretty absent-minded, sorry. I didn't remember I had that italian phrase in my signature [biggrin]

 

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

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

Nice! Who made the backing track? The voice doesn't sound like Plant.

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.
