Explorer Issue

[dwco]

I've been looking to buy an explorer for quite some time. And now that everything has come togeather i see that the classic white explorer (and the other finishes) are out of stock until 8/31/10. Why is there no guitars ? Are they doing some modifications to them? New Model Year? anything would help!

I would guess it might have something to do with the massive flooding in TN recently. Lotta places got flooded and a lot of stuff, including vintage instruments, got ruined.

Flood. Gibson's warehouse got hit bad. Lots of guitars got ruined.

I have been thinking about a Heritage Cherry Explorer myself. Something to consider ... Don't buy one right after they start making them again. It might be wise to post-pone the purchase until all of the "bugs" have been worked out of post-flood production. Just a thought to avoid later hassles.
