kjdhfgkijahdghs Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Thought this is probably the best place to ask. I've heard there are only about 50 of these in existence is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I don't know but if that's meant to be a Union Jack, the thin red stripes and the thick side-to-side one are positioned wrongly on the white background stripes. The designer has shortened the red stripe on the upper bout to line up with the pickup surrounds. Pedantic but I'm English. So I hope there are only 50 of them!!

SteveFord Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Not too much info out there but it looks like they shot for a run of 150 but the demand wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the tremelo? Arm looks like a Kahler...? And...what else you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Here's more than you could ever want to know about that guitar:http://www.craveguitars.co.uk/home/features/guitars/feature-1984-gibson-explorer-designer-series-union-jack/ 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Similar but his is different with the nut and tremolo. It kind of has an Austin Powers thing going for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Rick Savage sometimes plays a Union Jack bass guitar. Very often in full colour, but mostly in shades of black and grey. 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
