Always wanted an Explorer, I thought Allen Collins looked so cool with his. Just received this 2008 Explorer. Previous original owner removed finish from back of neck and oiled it and then apparently rarely played it. There is very little playwear and the front is almost perfect except for a few typical hard to see swirls and tiny scratches. The neck was a little raw for me so I sanded it smoother and re-oiled. I think it might have 300k pots but the 500T bridge sounds pretty good. The neck pickup isn't clear enough for me but it's not that bad. Once I lowered the action the guitar itself plays great and has a nice balance of snap/twang/resonance/fullness, really happy with that. The wound strings are not dull and the unwound strings are not thin. Neck profile is a very comfy C, not chunky but not too small either. It's right at 9 lbs so not light but it's a big hunk of wood. It balances well when played sitting or standing. Anybody know what pots came in these?
Back of neck is perfect, super fast and just the right amount of 'raw' for me.
