I had to do something against it, sold my Ibanez RG 550 to a friend and got myself this baby: (warning, crappy cell-phone pic from the rehearsal room) It's a 2001 Gibson Gothic Explorer which I upgraded with Bareknuckle Miracle Man Humbuckers. I bought it used in a decent condition for a fair price. I will be gigging and rehearsing with this guitar anyways so no need for a perfect finish. It's s really fat, warm and mighty sounding guitar (I use it in D Standard and Drop C most of the time). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You do scare me that you traded that nice RG550-whatever for the explorer but that's personal taste. I think we have more than just Aleksander's explorer on GMC though... doesn't Synfection play one of these? I think I saw another one in REC somewhere too, over the summer perhaps.

But I'll probably get an explorer again sometime, as I love the shape Congrats on yours though And I'd sell an Ibanez for an Explorer anyday, so good choice mate You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Made by some old potatoes and some other ingredients not worth mentioning, but Gibsons version is A LOT better, even that I think the body is a little too big for my small appearance. But they are cool, remember that Paul Stanley used to play an Explorer in the seventies.... Anyway, congrats to this babe !!! //Staffay You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's a cool shape and I eventually got used to it so much that later it bothered me the presence of the body wood surface above the strings You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Nov 22 2009, 12:31 PM	Learning Tone Master Posts: 3.185 Joined: 22-June 07 From: Germany	The guitar is a Metal beast with a singing lead sound. It balances perfectly when standing and it sits on your lap like a Les Paul or strat does (only with a bigger body). I sold the RG550 BECAUSE I also have the s7420^^ -Don't need two similiar shaped guitars with trems in standard tuning (7string has the low B ) -Both Ibanez were on par in terms of quality but I like the sound of mahagony better -I can play anything that I could play on the RG on the S7 but I can't make the walls shake with some low-b 7String riffing on the Rg You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I bought a cherry '76 reissue (from 2008) last year - picture attached. They are quite affordable these days (under 1100 euros). The sound is awesome, the mahogany wood is pure quality and Gibson's stocks 496R and 500T humbucking pups are brutal! No need for replacement at the moment (my Aria proII has emgs). The (set) neck is thin and very fast, the factory setup was perfect and it plays like a dream. This beast is made for hard rock & metal. To be honest, it lacks some finishing touches (the dot inlays suck a bit, I would also like a bound neck; and I think I will change the grover tuners). But apart from that it's pure attitude!
