Members bluesnapper Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'd probably prefer it to be in some sort of superstrat shape rather than the Explorer - but in theory it's a good idea. Locking trem, active pickups... Not my bag but I'm sure it could be popular. It's a good idea for Gibson to make something for modern metal players - this is a genuine market they could profit from - instead of inventing stoopid robot Firebird X guitars. RRP $1799 - so it'll be much cheaper than that. Promising idea - I'd like to try one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sailorofdarknes Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 I kinda like it but I just don't understand what Vampire blood has to do with anything let alone an explorer? Would a vampire even play such a guitar? Or would he having been around for a few hundred or thousand years be playing a finer instrument? Cheesy IMHO, least the write up was a entertaining!

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sorry but the Zoot suit Rainbow ^^^^^ was one of Gibson's good ideas and you try and buy one now Actually, I saw one of those in person and they look much better than the pics do.

Members bloodxandxrank Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 someone explain to me why the blood moon is 300 less than the regular explorer. The blood moon has active pickups and a double locking floating trem, the regular explorer has passive pups and a hardtail. I'm torn between the see through cherry and the blood moon. if i were to go with the regular explorer, though, i would have to put in emg's, which, while i'm sure sound better than the gibson "GEM's" (facepalm), would be a more expensive option than just getting the blood moon. i've also been dying for a floating trem ever since i let my rr1 go. (stupid, stupid, stupid move) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bloodxandxrank Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 This is the type of Explorer they should be coming out with. http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-GIB-DSDK-SBCH1-LIST dethklok thunderhorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireproof777 Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would'nt say it is great or Fail. Now This is Gibson Fail: And someday, they'll be a bunch of guitar geeks talking online about how great these vintage guitars are......they'll probably even be posting pics of their recent scores like it was porn and wishing for the good old days of creative guitar designs....what a bunch of losers.....

Members GilmourD Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 if it was an Agile, Xaviere or some other McGuitar, HCEG would have a collective erection I have an erection for the Dethklok Explorer big enough to make up for the rest of HCEG. The awesome part is that even THE WIFE likes it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fiveoclockhero Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 The guitar isn't as hideous as some of Gibson's more recent "innovative" offerings but that's not saying much. Octogenarians have hemorrhoids that aren't as hideous as some of Gibson's more recent "innovative" offerings. They could have just said "this is a black Explorer with red accents and a Floyd" and people would have loved it. Instead, they had to give it THAT name and write ad copy that sounds like Live Journal Twilight fanfic. It instantly reminds me of this: ... per se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bloodxandxrank Posted March 3, 2011 Members Share Posted March 3, 2011 First actual review i've seen. Looks like it's actually a decent guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KoaFreak Posted March 4, 2011 Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 they should have just called it voodoo, or something similar. vampire blood moon dumb name, but without the floyd id love to have one...and with the old inlay too, these look kinda cheap It's a trendy cash-in on the current trendy vampire TV shows and movies. Whenever I see things like this, I think back to those old Goth Chat parodies on SNL. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpaceProg Posted March 4, 2011 Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 I like the blue one meself. It's got just the right amount of red on it to not make your eyes do flip-flops when you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
