Hydra26 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 +2 Though I should say the color of AXE's makes his look better! + Infinity :) Then again, lotta people think my taste in instruments sux (except for GuitarJunkie who seems to pick up all the same models lately, haha) It's all subjective. With what instruments cost these days, I guess I'd just never buy and instument thinking "hey, I don't really care for that design as is, but if I hacked off half the body, it's be pretty sweet."

Cooperoni Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 What did EC's beautiful Explorer ever do to him in the first place that made him go and mutilate her like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mototoastie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Am i alone in the thinking the outline around the tailpin is wrong?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 No man, you are right, that is the point... Eric Clapton owned one of the original 1958 explorers but he found the fin to be too clumpsy so he cut it off or "reshaped it"... If you do this kind of stuff here in the south people will call you a redneck but somehow Eric has been glorified for doing this...so much that there is a custom shop model that replicates the guitar... Then I think he used that explorer on part of one record " Eric Clapton Was Here" and then he does not use it anymore, what a waste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
