Hello Rabs!

 

Never been into Explorers, but this one is very nice. Suspicious about the pickups, tough. [sneaky]

 

Cheers... Bence

Yeah ive never been a huge fan.. Theres is something about them that makes them very interesting but I doubt id ever get one (it certainly suits James Hetfield).. This one does look good in that colour though :)

I'm with Bence on this one - never much of an Explorer guy, but this one has the looks anyway. Actually think the gold hardware fits well with the dark burst finish. Not familiar with those pups - wonder how it sounds different from other Explorers?

This explorer looks hot. Ive never heard of those particular pickups, I'll have to do some research on them. In my opinion there arent many people that can pull of the vibe of an explorer, and Hetfields one of them. I'd probably buy a firebird over an explorer is I was to pick one or the other.
