coreblade Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 This is my "new" Explorer. Year of birth is 1976. Asolutely amazing condition with OHSC. PUs are Bare Knuckle "The Mule". Original PUs (Tar Back) are present. Take a look at this beauty! It have no serial. Don´t know why? Poti-codes say the year 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosquito3 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Oh my God! Binding all over the body and neck, block inlays...that's a beauty man! So, you finally bought it ! What kind of pickups are those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreblade Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 The PUs are Bare Knuckle "The Mule". Great sound! I have the original PUs too. Gibson Super Humbucker2 (Tarback) I´ve never played a better guitar like this. Unbelievable big, warm and fat sound! Sustain without ending! The weight is 4,2kg. Not bad!

mosquito3 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I've never played a guitar equipped with Bare Knukle the mule's or the Super humbuckings. I would really like to give a try at those Tarback's. Yeha, the Exlorers usually sounds very fat. I own 3 and are all cool sounding guitars. What about the neck? It's fat right?

coreblade Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Not fat. The neck is a bit thicker than a slimtaper neck. Very nice to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibis Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I saw this (very same?) guitar on sale on the bay about 4 years ago. The one back then had no provenance, ie no serial or factory history. Plus it seemed unique with its binding, block inlays and switch position. The fact it had tarbuckers and dated pots was the only thing dating it to the 70s. The lack of patina was also questionable. That said I've never gotten over seeing it and wanting one made JUST LIKE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
