This is totally allowed! 😁 How do You like the KL explorers?
They are clones. One is a Mork Verdun so it's a cursed guitar...Google it. The zebrawood is a badass. The Dean was the first floyded Z the new custom shop ever did. The body was too thin, so when they routed out the Floyd cavity, the route for the bridge pickup wound up breaking though. So you can see the bottom of the pickup in the spring cavity. But that flame top is gorgeous.
 
Custom ordered a white Dean Z around '82. Cost me $780 which was an enormous amount of $ for me for a starving kid. I was 120# soaking wet and it looked ridiculous on me. By '84 it was history. Now that I weigh 50% more I feel I've potentially grown into an explorer. I have a white V so maybe a matching white Gibson explorer is in my near future.
