Buying used Epi Explorer (questions about model etc.)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am interested in buying a used Epiphone Explorer locally. The guitar is black with no fret inlays aside from the 12th fret having XII. It’s supposedly 2-3 years old and NOT the Goth model. Owner says it is an RS (or RX, wasn’t clear on the phone) model but I can’t find any info on RS or RX. I checked Epiphone’s website and they mention the usual suspects (Epi Korina, Goth, 1984 etc). Price was $600 new now he is asking 300$. I am worried if this is a Chinese copy. I can ask for the serial number but if anyone has any tips about the RS/RS model, quality etc. I just play guitar for fun and don’t gig or anything. I modify guitars almost more than I play them so changing/modifying it is in the plans. Thanks in advance for any info!

Goth's are the only models with no inlays except having the XII on the 12th fret, which is unique to Goths...

However there is a Goth Explorer FR with a Floyd Rose tremolo.....
