I stumbled into purchasing an FGN Mythic used last December. Amazing guitar, so much so that I've been on regular hunt for another one, or perhaps one of their Dark Evolution models. Not my pic but mine looks identical. Their bridge with 2 ways to string the guitar is a very cool feature. Got...

HNGD. As much as I like the blingy PRS tops, this subdued finish totally works. Are those Tom Anderson pickups?

HNGD OP. Amusing to see so many former ESP forum dudes here. Rob had a very good standing there, and this guitar is no exception to his luthier chops.

I've had several sets of BG and Manlius pickups. Both good winders. Prefer their higher gain humbuckers. https://www.bgpickups.net/ https://www.manliusguitar.com/

I have a McCarty, and tried to like the McCarty pickups. I didn't.... What really changed the entire guitar and made it a keeper was to drop BK Nailbombs in it. And then, Booyah! Full disclosure -- have several PRS guitars, never really liked their pickups, and the only one that's been...

I can chime in, FWIW. I bought an essentially-new Hyperion Deluxe for a very reasonable price in 2018. Not a custom or semi-custom -- just a production model. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were extremely good. Their branded Feral pickups were well matched for the chambered...

I recently picked up an FGN Mythic which checks all my boxes and apparently yours as well. Mine was used so I got it for well under $1K. Worth a look. https://fgnguitarsusa.com/collections/mythic

The Rammstein-esque riffing was awesome! No idea what the last one is, besides perhaps yours. (I got a HB Agufish earlier this year and it's amazing value for the money.)

I picked up a C-1 Platinum late last year. Mine is Korean-made fwiw. As far as a mod, I moved the 85 to the bridge and got a used 60 for the neck. Such a great player and now with the tone I wanted. I'm actually hooked on the latest iteration of the Blackjack Solo II singlecut. The specs...

Well, it's been a week or so. Any decisions made on which one(s) you're keeping?

I've been looking at the SLS for most of this year. The specs and pickups are what are most alluring. So I'm curious as to how you like it. Have to ask -- you can have 3 guitars shipped to another GC and it only costs you $6 each? Did I misunderstand?

I have a weakness for H-S superstrats, and this one is NICE!

My opinion, since you're asking. I have several core PRS guitars and also an SE Holcomb. Bought it because of the 25.5 scale, the maple neck, the satin finish (macassar ebony run), and the pickups. Oh, and the cost as well. There's that. I, like others, read about the bad nut issue, and...

I have a Hyperion. Bought it because I was after the RD shape. Lucky enough to find one used at a great price, since few know how good they are. Interested in the RD shape because of Ghost. Didn't want another Gibson. Balaguer's specs on the Hyperion sold me. Top notch construction...

HNGD! I have one of the macassar ebony finishes, and can also attest to how great this guitar is. It is, literally, my only guitar that is completely stock, and I don't expect that will change. What really surprised me were how great the SD pickups were. I haven't had good luck with many of...

I have 2 explorers, and can understand the 'dead wood' issue. I resolved it on both of mine by swapping pickups (well, quite a few sets of pickups), and now they're both sublime.

HNGD. Yeah, the '16 Explorer came with the uncovered 496/500 set as I'm to understand. Have you looked at the pickups to see what they are?

Well worth the wait to finally see the pics. Noice!!

Me neither.... Tried 3 diff browsers too.

When I got my classic white '76 explorer, it was the only color that had an ebony board, and for a bit more than the other colors with rosewood. To my knowledge, only the classic white ones had ebony.
