I've always wanted an explorer, not enough to actually buy one, and I'm not sure I'd ever play in a band that it would be appropriate to use one, but when I got the opportunity to trade a couple of my pedals for one, you bet I went for it.
It's an Epi. plays pretty nice, I'll probably upgrade the pickups at some point, but i don't think I'll throw too much cash at it
Time to learn some Cheap Trick covers 8)
These acronyms are getting out of hand.
Haha I was just thinking the same thing...

Out of hand...or better?! hahah. Nice ax dude.
Nice score. I have the Hamer version (probably made in the same factory) that plays as good or better than the real thing. It's a faux Kornina amber finish and the only thing I did to it was replace the toggle switch with a real one (the pots are really good) and threw down on a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups (JB bridge PAF neck).
I'm an old fart but I figure the original was created roughly the same time I was so I going with that...
I'd play that. Hot.

Needs a good set up, particularly a truss rod adjustment and restring, and then I can have some fun. Not bad considering it cost me about $50/$60 worth of parts 8)
I was surprised at how comfortable the gat is too, I imagined it would be much heavier.
Very cool. I'd play that, too.
Trading pedals for gear is great. Some parts, some sweat equity and you can get some nice gear.

Say it so we can understand. TAAGOOH
Nice guitar man, like it! I'm an Epiphone owner too (not an explorer tho), if it plays fine, upgrade pick ups and you'll have a beast!

Yep, the plan is to upgrade pups if I can get it set up and playing nice.
Anyone got reccomendations for humbys? I've only had experience with dimarzio super distortions (yum) and the stock pups in my SGs (490s I think).
I'm not after insane gain, or actives. Classic crunchy toanz pleeez 8)
