Members Josh S Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Here's mine... An actual LE version from 1976. Not a re-issue - the one the re-issues are based on It rules. Probably my favourite guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 I first bought this one for my son, I believe it was called a '76 RI Explorer. Got it as a blem for $680. It just had one bad string. Then I got myself an Epi Korina And this one has been my fave - It was a Ltd Edition (400 of them) GOW (wk 13) Mahogany Pro with the smaller body. It has the same pickups as the '76, but the 496R/500Ts just seem more chimey and sweet in this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheIgnoramus Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Briefly had the '84 reissue when they were first out. Horrible. Sent it back. I now have the heritage cherry and the classic white ones. The cherry's in D# (snarl), and the CW is in C (growl). I like swapping pickups in these guitars as well. The CW now has a PRS Tremonti in the bridge. The cherry has the PRS 250 set. Both were notable improvements compared to the 496/500 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Wow... I know Gibson has poor QC, but even looking beyond the mis-matched pickups, the incorrect knob and switch placement AND the missing pickguard, I can't believe they cut the body wrong. Here's a backwards one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spike Li Posted November 29, 2010 Members Share Posted November 29, 2010 i think Spike Li will fire off some knuckle babies when he see's this thread. I see my reputation here precedes me Forgive me for my late arrival, I uh... had my hands full... if you know what I mean And w00dsy, I like to think that im on the right side of the country seeing as how we have all the gold/iron ore/diamonds being dug up over here Enough about me, good to see that theres a lot of explorer love goin on around here I feel obliged to take pics of mine now - which kinda puts me in an odd position as it goes against my strict policy of being a lazy bastard...
