NGD: Gibson Lzzy Hale Explorer

[novocaine]

Just received this on Monday during Walking Dead's Season 5 mid-season Premiere.

Beautiful guitar, setup was great and surprisingly hot pickups. The pearl tuners really soften the look, they're bothering me a little but i'll live with it since it's the artiste's choice. I love signatures and explorers so this was a no brainer for me. I'll let the pictures do the talking (pardon crappy phone pics, evidently i play guitars not cameras):

And all together L-R: Lzzy Hale, Bill Kelliher Golden Axe, Voodoo, Gothic (the original one, not the morte):

Dang, that is a sick explorer collection.
Absolutely adore the Lzzy Hale model, it's just super classy and in my opinion takes the explorer shape above and beyond.

 

[Discoqueen]

So legit, man. That collection is bad-ass! HNGD!!

Awesome wall of Explorers! Those Voodoos are so cool.

Scrolled down to that pic, and I literally shit my pants. I'd sell my kidney for the Golden Axe and the Voodoo.

The new one is a great catch, but what a collection!

Wow, that collection is to die for. Thinking about picking one of these up at some point this year, how does it play?

I have 0% love for Halestrom, but that is a fine guitar…

and generally I'm not a fan of Explorers.

I rate your collection though, you have a nice spread of 'vintage modern' and Modern. Plus I always thought the Voodoo's were super cool. To bad Fender never did a Voodoo Strat or Tele, I'd be all over that like cats on catnip.

badass lineup!

Love it! Sweet collection, too!

HNGD!!!

I have the Golden Axe and I was thinking the Hale Explorer would compliment it nicely.

How does it compare?

Soooo ... is that wall accessible from the outside? And about how thick is it? Not that I'm gonna burst through it (as gently as possible, of course) and grab those beautiful Explorers ... Happy NGD, that collection is the coolest.

Nice explorers!!! A good friend of mine back in high school had an explorer, always thought they played awesomely. Hngd!!!

Hmmmm...Leave those two alone for awhile and in 9 months you may have a new mini-explorer!



Congrats on the NGD OP!! That's a great collection!
