Double post

It's neither, it's his Gibson. He had a similar Gibson signature though.

It’s a Gibson EII, which is different than his signature.

Gibson had an explorer slightly smaller figured top called an E2, not like the ESP sub brand.

His signature is sijilar but knob placement and neck binding trap inlays and such.

E/2 is actually a different guitar than an EII. The one he’s playing is the EII. An E/2 has a multi-layer body with countours.

Well fuck if this isn't the perfect explorer spec wise.

Ah, I see what you were saying now - it sounded like you thought it was a ESP E-II as opposed to his signature ESP.

Cool guitar! I would love a more version of it.

Does anyone know where they're made? Love the specs but their web site isn't really chatty about the company, or where they're from.

The E2 werent smaller, they just had a few different designs. What you are thinking about probably are the first generation of explorer pros, which had a 90% body. circa 2002.

tempted but they were it's written they're supposed to be shipped in winter 2018.... not enough preorder ?

I don't understand your logic.

It's not winter yet, and pre-order means they are currently manufacturing the guitars.

Bill Kelliher had an Explorer that looked very similar to that one, his guitar was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this thread:

That's an E-2. They're good-looking guitars.

 

[manu80]

My logic is that winter 2018 is behind us.
2019 is coming
Except if they speak about december 2018 but yeah i get your point too
So i thought they were late due to lack of preorder
