detuned

Thanks so much for the info! One more question, were locking tremolos offered on these guitars or is that an after-market addition? I'm the 3rd owner of this guitar and didn't get that information. The bridge is branded as "Gibson" and it says "U.S. Pat. Applied For".

Unfortunately I don't have a picture (yet), but I'm trying to get some more information on my guitar. It's a Gibson Explorer E2, Walnut w/ a locking tremolo. Can you find out the year by the serial number? I was told that it was a 1979 but I'd like to verify that. The number is 73149076. I have been unable to find any online pictures of this style guitar with the locking tremolo, the closest picture I've found is on the Bernie Marsden site, the picture is here. www.berniemarsden.co.uk/images/guitars/g2.jpg Any info would be appreciated.
