drewfromutah Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I snagged it for a good price on Ebay but I'm still skeptical (even though the serial number is legit!). If it's a fake I suppose I'll just resell it (but I won't lie about it not being a real Gibby!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bo Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It looks real to me. Check the truss rod cover for the screw count. Gibson only uses 2 screws to secure it . Most copies have 3 screws. I can't see it from the pictures here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LickMyLovePump Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 It's a legit Explorer... but how come you asked after you bought it on Ebay and not before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewfromutah Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 It's a legit Explorer... but how come you asked after you bought it on Ebay and not before? Mainly because it went for half of what a new Explorer goes for and the serial number did show up legit. I was fairly confident it was real anyway, and if it wasn't, well, I would just eat the loss and resell it for slightly less than what I paid. I'm still suspicious -- to me, $720 for what appears to be a good condition, 2006 standard Gibson Explorer is the deal of the century. I was about to bite the bullet and get a new one because I couldn't find a used for less than $1100. PS: great login name!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bo Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This one is a fake. I got this for my son who wanted the real thing but doesn't deserve one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
