Sarkasm

Oh yeah, the tuning knobs (?) are not white either (as the one on the link I posted), they are in metal (goldcolored). But I don't know if they are the original knobs.

Yes. I am very sure. It says: 00231107. I am not good with colors, but it looks like this one (link below), exept for the pickups that have been replaced by EMGs. http://www.ishibashi-webshop.jp/img/goods/1/311887580.jpg

Hi! I live in Sweden and bought a gibson explorer in a local store somewhere around 1993-94. Now I'm wondering if anyone could help how to read out the serialnumber and see where and when it was made. Since I failed to do so myself. Thanks for the help! /Oskar On the back of the headstock it says: LIMITED EDITION, made in USA, 00231107
