Mike CT Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Right now I have a 2017 LP STD, a 2019 SG STD, and I just got a 2000 Explorer (from that post here from the other day). I’m blown away by everything with the Explorer. My question is if you have a favorite guitar, would you rather sell one of your others and get another of the one that you really like. I pretty much drafted Reverb sales listing for my Les Paul and the SG thinking that I’d recycle that money into a white Explorer (mine is black) and maybe just swap out the 496/500s for some alincos (like the new 70’s tribute pickups) for some tonal variety. I just love everything about that guitar: balance, sounds massive, frets, and it looks awesome. My hesitation is that I’m arguably still in the honeymoon phase with it and down the road I might appreciate the variety of 3 different ones. Right now, I’m leaning more towards cutting the SG loose instead of the Les Paul if I want to get another Explorer. That year’s SG has a lower fret profile and its just a lot of money to have it regret. Love the larger frets on the Explorer. The frets on the Les Paul are in between those two which is fine. I just want to keep it at 3 electrics at this point and I like to play (just for fun at home) classic metal, hard rock, and even modern country (which today is basically rock). Thanks for entertaining a strange question. Mike Edited December 11, 2022 by Mike CT Forgot something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I would keep the three different models as opposed to having 2 Explorers. While the SG and LP are quite similar, if I were to sell one, I wouldn't get a second Explorer, maybe go for a semi-hollow body or something different. After you've become a super rich rock star then you can have a different color explorer for each day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Nothing wrong with having multiples. You don’t need to be a rock star or collector. Just do what you like no sense keeping the SG if your other guitars cover the same sounds with better ergonomics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I too would take it easy for a while and just enjoy the one Explorer. But it's a perfectly normal question. On here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
