Dethklok Explorer: Amazon is taking pre-orders for it anymore information available?

 

You can buy a used black Explorer, put in an EMG 89/81 and add a steel pickguard for much less than that and have the same guitar Brendon Small uses.

I thought they were going to do it with Epiphone?

Intresting... :mellow:

 

Nope,they scrapped their original plan to make a an Epiphone Explorer

 

Jim Rosenberg Epiphone President told me this on "Henry's Forum":

 

"The guitar that Brendon Small is holding was a prototype we made for him. Ultimately, Brendon decided to do a guitar with Gibson."

But it won't have the Dethklok "Gears" logo in the fingerboard.

Well true, but neither does his original Explorer. If an inlay job is worth paying an extra $600.00+ for, then by all means.

I'm not trying to cramp your style, just making a suggestion that would save you money.
