So, I guess this is worth a bump. The poll results seem to have given us this:

Since there's no switch on the pickguard, it looks like you can remove the pickguard with no routing.

The SS seems a lot like a Duncan SH-5 judging by the description. If it's under $800, I'm definitely saving for one.

I remember a guy playing their pups and givin me some descriptions about them.. the Sunset Strip should be sort of a Schecter's take on a Duncan Distortion, and essentially the most 80's oriented pickup, with a top end that would remind the DD but the muscularity of a DiMarzio. No doubt an interesting concept

By far one of the best looking explorer clones I've seen. Still, if they don't add a string, my wallet is safe. I have too many six string explorers, including a Gibson, I just don't care for another right now. If they make a seven though, it'd be a dream come true for this poor loser.

Everyone complains about all black guitar rosters
Schecter releases quilted maple, orange top guitar as winner of online poll and listening to consumers
People make mock-up asking for a gloss black version

There's no winning for them is there?

I'm guessing they're going to release this to test the waters.

If it does good (which I HOPE it does since it's probably my favorite Explorer clone right now), then I'd imagine we'll get some E-1's (the model name) in several different series, as well as an ERG one or two.

I may have to drop some money on one then to show my interest. :lol:

Legit, explorers are my favorite guitar shape. I want a seven string so bad I've begun to make my own. I have no wood-working skills either, so I don't anticipate it looking any good.

I just think Explorers look better in gloss white or black :shrug:

Then you're in luck! Gibson has been making gloss black explorers for a while now, and you can find them for decent used prices.

Edit: Also, destroyers and LTD's EX series both come in black gloss. The ibby being pretty close to the Schecter shape too.
