This one. I already have a black Tonepros TOM bridge ready to be installed. Need to order black tuners as well.
A 3-week vacation just started with some old unused annual holiday quota... Been training Our new rottweiler pup (13 wks), plowing snow from the yard and done some Christmas shopping. Waiting for my 80s Explorer to arrive on 27th.
Gibson 80s Explorer is being blown out in Europe so that model might be going out of production. On the other hand Gibson posted IG pics of their CEO checking Hetfield type painted '84 white Explorer at the factory.
The new gear prices are even more insane in Europe at the moment. What next? Are the manufacturers able and/or willing to lower the prices to match the buying capability of the middle class in this economical situation in Europe and USA? I just bought a Gibson 80s Explorer for a blowout price...
