So the story goes, me and my brother have talked about this one for a few years, so for valentines I started this one and then I was going to build him one, because originally he had asked me to. So I worked on this one while I was grieving (still am, but not as bad) and as a tribute, I put his industrial bar under the pick guard.
I love it, the pick ups are 59 PAFs, sounds really growly.

Damn that looks nice. Really clean and straightforward and the tele knobs look great with the finish. Nice work Jimi.
That looks really awesome now it's altogether I hope you enjoy playing it man.
That's amazing, Jimi! I love it.
Whoa Whoa Whoa. What a stunner!
Looks beautiful Jimi. A wonderful tribute.
Looks awesome buddy. Really good job.
Wait, you built the guitar?
Nice work, if so!
Very nice!
Great job!
That is sharp! I am always surprised with how much I like things I would not have picked - that green is super classy on the Exp shape and I like how it lets the wood show. I hope completing that was cathartic for you, sir - it certainly looks like a solid fiddle.
That's absolutely stunning, Jimi!

That is quite spectacular...... I could play that machine very happily.
That's beautiful, Jimi.
Very cool to say the least.
Jimi, did you cut the body yourself?

Oh no, I'm a bassist not a carpenter.

So, I gotta know... Is it a frankenstein? Kit? Self spurced parts? How would you compare it to a gibson? It looks great, is why I ask. And I want to build one now. LOL
Beauuutiful... love the colour 8)

Kit body and neck, upgraded tuners to grovers and pickups to the PAFs. eBay all the white pieces. I've never played a Gibson explorer, but the pickups are comparable to a Les paul, not all Les Pauls, but some.
