Ah yes, the holy explorer

Yet another way to sell a screwed up guitar for $2700.

I will give credit where it is due though, the marketing machine that is Gibson can sell hamburgers to catholics during Lent

"Board members, we have a stockpile of rejected explorer bodies and need a way to blow them out to fund our 2008 bonuses and I have just the plan!"

That's one pic you should have left over at the "other" forum Scott.

I could not wait to show the forum the passion for guitar players that Gibson brings to the table

Yep, this is so bad, I actually posted at the other forum.

Cheap, insanely heavy mahogany = creative solutions.

I find it really difficult to imagine even a company like Gibson succeed in selling more than a few of those. Looks like Gibson is heading towards bankruptcy, but then all the guitar & amp builders probably are. I can't foresee many playing a guitar in the future, or a tube amp I don't really understand how these amp builders survive with so many competitors & sample driven music in the first place.

they need to make Hetfield play one of these for a show or two - they'll be all sold in a second.

Call Gibson and say that, you will be their next marketing supa star!!

Gibson you suck!

They'll probably try to sell the Explorer puzzle kit for $999 that will put it back together again.

I just sent this message to Gibson:

To whom it may concern:

I very much dislike those "hole"-ey guitars, but if you want to sell a million of them, pay Jamez Hetfield to play the Explorer in a video or on a tour. I'm talking about record sales here.

I like the one i bought for $297. I bet it sounds way better than that Swiss Cheese Explorer.
