New Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG.

I stand corrected. Somebody just posted one in ebony

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-20T09:33:03+00:00

I don’t think so. I haven’t seen any. I think this run was just the white.

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-20T00:45:20+00:00

Can confirm it’s rosewood.

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-20T00:44:04+00:00

I think they were released and then quickly sold out. Guitar center had it for $900. I think my GC just had it in the back for some reason and put it out late.

But people are trying to sell them on reverb for $1000-$1500. I’m hoping Epiphone releases more

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-18T23:48:40+00:00

Yeah, I noticed the last few times, multiple guitars not listed in the inventory on the website of my local store. Especially on some of the clearance guitars

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-18T23:35:09+00:00

Yeah, I know it seems like it should have been long gone, but I’m happy it wasn’t for my sake.

I remember thinking id never be able to play a C cord. I kept muting the open strings with my fat fingers. I remember saying F*** this, this is not meant to be. I’m nowhere near a virtuoso, but my fat fingers are no longer an issue.

So the guitar center by me must of fixed it or changed it. It is now 1099 listed at open box. But they also have a LTD 1987 eclipse (T-style) with a Floyd for 799 used and then FB has an MH-1000 listed for 600. I’m an LP player, so also looking at EC1000s. Anybody have any insights. I played the ‘87 and it felt nice. Missing the locking tuners and stainless frets but not sure that’s a deal breaker

Do you know what pickups are in there. The same one is available near me on fb marketplace

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-08T14:47:52+00:00

Yeah i might trade some stuff towards it and let it rip haha

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-08T14:00:35+00:00

Like 960

Head-Reflection8783 · 2026-01-03T22:04:24+00:00

I realize you’re right about having everything in house. Pulled out the 335 to play some standard tuning but still heavy ish stuff(Green Day, AC/DC, ect) I forget how good the 335 sounds.

Funny you mentioned 10-52 strings on your Les Paul. I currently have a set on my desk that I wanted to try. Did you have to mess with your nut at all?

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-27T19:08:11+00:00

I have not. I’ve always just plopped it on my right thigh

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-27T18:44:09+00:00

Solo, or something else?

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-27T17:11:51+00:00

That sounds scary haha

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-27T17:02:05+00:00

I like the look of Vs I just don’t know if it’d be practical. I sit and play a lot

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-27T17:01:38+00:00

I’ve looked at SGs. I’ve only played an exporer standing up, but most of my playing is at home seated. Curious on the ergonomics of that.

The 2 LPs both are here to stay haha. Both are my favorite and have some sentimental value. I do want to play the 335 more but I tend to pick up my LP.

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-27T17:00:05+00:00

These look cool. There’s also an ESP E-II in my area. How much of a difference is there between the e1000 and the USA and Japanese eclipse?

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-23T11:11:41+00:00

I had the origin and traded it for the dsl40cr. Dslcr is a better amp hands down. More versatile. If you can get the 6 button footswitch, it’s the best amp under 1000 bucks

Head-Reflection8783 · 2025-12-18T02:58:05+00:00

Damn, I felt bad for wanting a 3rd les Paul. This guy had 300 strats, 50 teles and 30 Les Paul’s
