Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 The best Explorer I've played is a Hamer USA standard. They're very expensive though, cost more than the Gibsons but the quality is unbeatable. Gibson Explorers are really col and sometimes you can get good deals on the used market on them. If you're on a tight budget the import Hamers are hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conaghy Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Even the Custom Shop?? I know you can't get it in the US but I thought anywhere else the CS will make whatever you want?? Am I totally misinformed here?? Yeap, as far as I'm aware. They were recently only available as a custom order from the custom shop, but I read somewhere that they're not doing the MX shape at all.

Members fretout Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeap, as far as I'm aware. They were recently only available as a custom order from the custom shop, but I read somewhere that they're not doing the MX shape at all. +1 I checked on getting a Custom Shop MX and was told that they are no longer making them, even as Custom Shop orders (this was about 2 years ago). I like the Gibsons, but FWIW, the Ebony Explorers have some horrible finish flaws. For the last 2 years I have been looking for one that didn't appear to have a "seam", and they have all had them (none of the ones I have seen have had a smooth finish). IMO, the White Gibson Explorers look great, and the only flaw that I have seen are inconsistencies with the fret markers on the side of the fretboard (some are set-in deeper that others).

Members TheRymanChu Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hamer's stand up good quality-wise. I thought the Pre-1998 stuff was better, haven't played one lately to see if they're making em as good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Savo Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I bought this Gibson Gothic Explorer before Christmas. Great guitar. Ebony board, 59 rounded neck profile. Great finish and sounds fantastic. All black mightn't be your thing though if you are not playing metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RussAnderson Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 The Gibby is long gone, but the ESP will never leave my hands. That's a great comparison pic between the two guitars , i have owned that gibby but never had the chance to play the esp explorer. I have heard a fair few say the esp holds up better in terms of quality & finish but for the money the gibby is a pretty good alternative. ps i know what u mean keeping the esp im the same with my 2 ft eclipses, because it will be hard to find better .

Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 My Explorer GAS is through the roof now. I had one as my main guitar from '89 to 2000, sold it when my son was born and I stopped playing for a while. Then when I got back into it, I bought other guitars and never really though about it but now I realize that I REALLY miss that guitar. I want another one just like my old one. Black with white pickguard and yes, EMGs (2 x 85). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
