39k$ And you can keep the case!😀👍

Why is this so expensive? What is "Korina"? I didn't;t think Explorers were so special. Never knew much about them though. https://www.elderly.com/collections/all/products/gibson-explorer-1963

Looks just like a Byrdland

Iirc i had deluxe original tuners on my ~1987 SG go bad. So not a new prob at all. i also had an early ‘90’s sg with an impossible to keep in tune g string.

Thanks, neither did I. I am not sure when they started. Grog, Beautiful collection. Are they all short scales?

Thanks. Yes, it is. And for under a thousand bucks, too!

Oh yes, here you go...

I cannot believe I am saying this but I think it is the best bass I have ever owned. Have had it about 6 months now. I also have had a Ric 4003, American Vintage Pbass, blue flower PBass, and a Guild Starfire bass. It is punchier and has more clarity, kick, and power than any of them. No dead spots. Breezy play from the short scale. I am shocked because the last Gibson Bass I tried was atrocious (2011 SG Bass). No amount of money or mods I threw at it could change the horrible tone (absolutely no presence and kick, and sound muffled and dead and like you are playing thru a chorus pedal, or did I have a lemon?). I had been looking for another short scale bass, as my left hand doesn't like long scales anymore, and I saw the LPTDC basses and thought they looked beautiful. So back in Dec 2019 I gave one a try in a shop and was happily surprised. I got one a couple weeks later in worn brown. Only mods I have done are shielding the cavity to make it noiseless and to replace the three point bridge with the Hipshot (just for low E string intonation correction purposes). That is less mods needed than on any of my other basses. The LPTDC comes with lotsa nice features, too like the ultra light tuners, single coil/humbucker option push pull pot, and nice worn brown finish. The maple neck gives the back of the neck a tiger stripe look through the finish. The bass has a great sound and could be used for any style music. It kind of sounds like a cross between a Pbass and a 4003. But, as I said, punchier, clearer, and bigger tone than either, imho. Only downside is it was originally a little neck heavy, but the combo of the Hipshot bridge weight, and cantilevering effect of dunlop strap locks, with a stickier strap, and replacing plastic control knobs with heavier chrome dome knobs added enough weight and cantilevering to offset that. I'd post pics but page rejects and tells me I can only post 378kB of pics. Anyway, these are fantastic basses for less than $1kUSD What has your experience been with yours?

Did someone replace the neck with a non-Gibson neck? shouldnt the headstock serial matchbthe serial on the sticker in the body? Also, some of the trap inlays look off center. Not an expert, just guessing.

Pic is blurry. Cannot tell if that is a gap or just dried polishing compound. What happens if you scratch at it with a fingernail?

When you are famous everyone will want one just like yours.

Why is it oversized? Is it a Baritone?
