I love those KL explorers. Are the bodies based upon the old ESP explorer shape? For those that may not know, the ESP Explorers are larger and have a little different angle than the Gibson Explorer...

Yes, they are based off the ESP MX250. James Hetfield brought one of his favourite MX250's to the shop, and Ken copied the shape. Initially Hetfield wanted also the headstock copied like on the ESP, but Ken wanted to give it his one twist, and make his own headstock design on the Explorer.

They are indeed mine. I have been waiting for 3 years. Im dying to get them. Hes making mine alittle thicker then normal explorer body but same shape. The ziricote is a baratone and will be stained. The inlay work is called de-evolution of a symbol
The other one is the same thicker body regular scaled neck' will be dyed red and black so it looks like hell fire. The in lay work is based on a dante theme which follows a man on his journey after he dies. Ken got one of his artist friends to help out with the inlays and they came out how i wanted them. He got the idea in my head out on the fret board. Hes great to work with. I cant wait to rip these things up. A

Yea three years is along time, But it went by so fast. Im Really happy about the way they came out.
I prefer thicker body guitars thats why i did that. I am also on a list for a single cut and another Explorer. Another 3 years lol

I've got another Explorer in this run. I've also got a V in this batch too. Anything from Ken is well worth the wait.
