Electric Guitars

[MorganB]

They sound like "Land Ho!" or an agressive midrange LP!

I have talked to guys who like them for the way that they balance while standing. One of these guys was in a band in which I played drums. His guitar sounded pretty much like a Les Paul. It was full, with plenty of punch.

You're making a lot of these posts. All these guitars will do fine, just buy one.

Explorers sound a 24.75" scale guitar with two humbuckers.

I've always loved that song. The outro still gives me chills.

With active EMG's, a floating trem, ebony board, and who knows what for body wood, it sounds like... uh, a high output shred machine:



Btw - that's not a ZZ, it's a Custom Z with bound set neck - though otherwise it feels a lot like my old ZZ Custom, which feels nothing like a Gibson Explorer - not their traditional stop tail one at least.

I don't know why you assume I want to buy a guitar. I'm just trying to find people's opinions on gear that I have little/no experience with. You are being an HC nazi.

Going to pick mine up from my buddy who refinished my 85 Custom Shop tomorrow! I hope to have it done in a couple of days and get a pic posted of before and after.

They sound very nice but are huge. Jabs from the Scorpions has his custom made so the body is a bit smaller.

My Epi sounds both crunchy and twangy!

I like the shape. Its way more comfy than it looks. Balances well sitting or standing, no heavier than most LPs.
The big upper bout kinda tucks under your arm like you old favorite acoustic.
The biggest drawback is the humongous case.

Had an ESP FX, their take on the explorer. I thought it was a great guitar to play sitting down, sounded great, but the neck was just too small for me, so I sold it.

I prefer the Maple topped Hamer Standard & The '79-'81 Dean Z. They have amazing sustain. They really sing. A great Blues & Rock tone.
