it was probably some 80's model. Unless it's a custom, in these years you could choose between several options including the schaller.

I personally love floyds but I'm not a kahler fan

Which Explorer to buy?

I'm soon gonna buy a new guitar in the good ol' Explorer shape...

But i have hit a dilemma...

Do i get a Standard Gibson Explorer for £899...

Or a Dean Z '79 RI for £449 and spend a bit of money on replacing the pickups?

Comment pls!
Joe


I've gotta Gibson SG that goes into ->

Re: Explorer Posse II

It would'nt be fair for me to answer but I will anyway.
I dont like Dean guitars. Some like'm but I dont. The Gibson will be of better quallity but worth your hard earned cash is up to you.
Go see and play both, then decide for yourself.

Re: Explorer Posse II

I'd take a USA Dean over a USA Gibson any day, and I've got a bunch of both. But to compare an import line to a USA guitar isn't fair.

Re: Explorer Posse II

Aha, I see!

I think i will go for the Gibson.

I've already got a Standard SG, and its great! I know the Gibson quality!

Then then again, I dont know the Dean quality.

I want tone, so the Gibson'll be better in that department cos its a USA guitar surely?

I'll play em both of course...

HOLY MOTHER OF BADASSNESS!!!

awesome

It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.

I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.

Re: Explorer Posse II

I just got a Hamer Explorer Standard the other day. It's black w/ a white pickguard. It was normally $899, but I got it for $300 because of a chip about the size of a quarter on the upper wing. Whatever man, war scars! I look so metal now! I gotta replace the Duncan Designs though. I love the JB and 59 combination. Pretty sure I'll go with the 59 in the neck, but I wanna try something different in the bridge. I like the Screamin' Demon but I'm curious about the Duncan Custom. BTW, I'm a passive guy, so EMG's are outta the question. Any suggestions? Thanks.:smileyhappy:

These are Rio crunch box and punch box pickup.
And this explorer is LIGHT in weight (due to wood selection
and chambered body!)

The top is just so-so in heatley standard! Though it is still
look awesome to me! Check www.heatleyguitars.com
web site for more eye candy!

Too bad I can only pls two strings on this guitar as its headstock
was broken by Fedex!:mad: Luckily he is re-using the top and
making another one for me!

I love explorer!!!
