veeman Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Don't get much worse than that. Is Gibson really that stupid? Or is the buying public that stupid? What a waste of a good guitar design. Shame on Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 No kidding. Heaven forbid Gibson start selling something that looks a little different from something built 40 years ago. They should immediately cease production of every guitar they make that doesn't look like it came from the late 50s.The only authorized paint finishes should be a burst, black, gold, natural, white, and cherry. No trems. Ever. No black hardware. If it dioesn't meet that criteria, the guitar police should immediately seize the guitar and destroy it. And not in a fun or different way, because fun and/or different is wrong. Sarcasm mode off. I haven't played this particular model, but having played a number of Explorers, I would guess this one feels the same. That is, it's comfortable. Tone is probably different as I'm guessing Hook has specified hotter pickups. The graphics aren't my taste, but I'll bet it's a great guitar.

foofighterjase Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Well i like the look of it dispite all the haters to me it looks a fresh addition to the series and if the bottom was a problem im sure a white pick gard could be added!!! Im going to try one out in a few weeks at a shop ive found so may be a purchase if i like it lots!!! Like you say i love the old explorers but gettin bit bored of the same old same old!!?? Ill post up some comments when i see it in the flesh and mabe even grab one too???!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The only thing I'm having trouble with is the tube looking thing running to the pickup selector. That looks odd. Otherwise I kinda like it. I think you hit the nail on the head though. YOU like the look, and that is all that matters. Post pics when you get it!

foofighterjase Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah Dan i kinda dont know what to make of it but i spose it will give the full picture when i see it in real life rather than just pics?? But im sure if push came to shove i bet a white pick gard would fit nice over that tube but you wouls have to drill the tiny holes though for the screws!!?? Appart from that it may just work!!?? hmmmmmm???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foofighterjase Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Asked shop to send through some pics so i can see what it looks like in the flesh!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I don't mind the graphics, but I too don't get the conduit to the switch. Other than that I'd have bought it years ago......my tastes have gone a bit more traditional in recent years, but It's no more "out there" than stuff I had inthe 80's NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
