And another thing, you say explorers are great for metal, you know who uses one? The freaking Edge from U2, it doesn't get much more un-metal than that....

SRV-Zeppelin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I believe I already shared my thoughts on this thread, but... DON'T GET RID OF THE LES PAUL. You're 14 and you got it for free? Sure, there are guys your age who own Gibsons... but they usually save up for them.. you know, elbow grease. Don't be stupid. Really. I mean no offense, but keep the LP and save for the Explorer.

retrosurfer1959 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 A lot of good comments here and you sound like a smart kid and will make the right decision. At 14 if the worst thing that has happened is your Les Paul isn't an Explorer you have a great life go so hug your parents and clean your room. There's only one first in many things in life including guitars so don't get rid of your first good guitar or you'll regret it later. Many players end up needing to sell gear to make a mortgage payment or keep a car etc. and that happens but keep the first as long as you can. Good luck and keep up the hard work in school it really does pay off, just check out my avatar. Don't get discouraged by our comments weve all been there and will be again GAS is a disease that never seems to go away for many players and weve all chased the new guitar because of a sound were looking for, hell I bought a firebird the day after seeing Warren Haynes play one and wanting that sound. The firebird is great but for Warrens sound I still need the CD it's usually the player not the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I just realized... we don't have any pics in this thread. What's your problem, you 14 year-old jerk?! Trying to be selfish and keeping your guitar all to yourself, hmm? just kidding.... but seriously, we need pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi13ts Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Sorry I came a little late, but I'd like to add that an LP would sell at a higher price than an Explorer. You can sell that '08 Les Paul Standard and get enough money to purchase an Explorer (For sure a Faded Explorer). That would be a stupid decision, but it's your guitar and your money. I can't tell you how many forum members covet your fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
