Explorers.....

[Dawn of the Shred]

Just wondered if i was the only fan of them. Dont see much about them on the forum. Any other owners here?

I played a couple show's with a friends.
I have no clue what it was, but the thing was from the late 80's.

it had a tiny neck on it, white, some humbucks, and marijuana decals between the frets.
It' played and sounded pretty good...
We treated it like shit. :/

I love explorers but I don't have much money so I don't have one but I plan on getting a Japanese one like a Tokai, Edwards or something like that.

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

I`m the proud owner of a 1991 cherry 1976 re-issue Gibson Explorer, it was the first proper guitar I bought when I was 20, which was early 1992 !!!.

I definatly reccomend one of these awesome guitars, the necks are incredible and the sound huge, and ideal for those Bay Area Thrash moments in your playing !!!.

One day I shall get round to posting pics of my guitars here, when I finally get the time !!!.

Mine looks just like the one in the pic below ...

Nice! Like that cherry gibby. Def on my list to get man.

I love them.

I want one of the older lawsuit ESP or LTD ones. And the old Gibson Explorer 90's. The Scorpions fanboy in me wants one so badly.

Or I will probably find a used Gibby or Epi and have some fun with the pickguard.

Love 'em

Favorite guitar. Favorite shape.

I don't have money for a Gibson or even an Edwards, so I might check out those new-ish Epiphone 1984 Explorers. Every Gibson Explorer I've played has been incredible.

They make you feel like such a badass for some reason. The ESP/LTD EX series is also really good, although the shape had to grow on me.

Do Kellys count?

 

[yellowv]

Does this count?

 

[7strung]

They're like no other...

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

the 84 epiphone is a awesome guitar

Even though I hated them for a good while, I'm starting to get a liking for the ESP EX shape.

And I'm kind of a sucker for the diamond-plated Explorers.

Also, Ibanez Destroyers.

I know it's the X-series one everyone loves to hate, but dammit, I still want it.

Ignore my retarded metal face and focus on my lovely gibby which I happen to love very very much. Done a good bit of work to it, I dont plan on letting this one go

I'm not a great photographer (especially when it comes to reds), but I am a sucker for explorers:

Love the shape!

Don't own an actual Explorer per se, but do have an Ibanez Destroyer and a Jackson Kelly

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

I love the ESP/LTD FX/EXs
I want one so bad but I'm broke
