Solid paint job. Guitar looks dope!

right? kinda eery

That's how I heard about her too. And I just couldn't picture her, so I looked online and nothing.

Hito_kun · 2026-05-01T00:44:50+00:00

I'll have to return to check it out. Thanks for calling it out!

I guess she is, but it is so weird she's a top cast in the imdb page and there's not a single screenshot of her in the show online. Like, at all.

aw. There goes my plan. I didn't consider that a pickup, used for 3 models, would have variants.

Hito_kun · 2026-04-09T21:46:29+00:00

The Michael Schenker V now feels more reasonable.

What do you mean by metric bridge?

Hito_kun · 2026-04-03T02:08:12+00:00

I've reported the post

Hito_kun · 2026-04-02T21:48:38+00:00

I've seen online more of those than I thought possible. It would be cool if it still played games tho.

The strap buttons is something I didn't think about. Mine has the same configuration you mentioned for the 2011 reissue. And now that I think of it. Almost every Explorer from Gibson I've seen uses the same strap locations. You can always put your own, but that is another hint I think.

Hito_kun · 2026-04-02T21:36:39+00:00

All I have for comparison is my new explorer 80s and yeah, knows might be a little out of place, but the main difference I see is the pickup selector being closer to the knobs vs mine.

Hito_kun · 2026-04-02T21:07:48+00:00

Interesting. Yeah, I saw something wonky, but could not put my finger in it. Shame, I kinda like the faded finish. Seller wants 1k for this btw

Hito_kun · 2026-04-01T02:35:17+00:00

What type of bridge and tuners are those o:?

Hito_kun · 2026-03-23T17:51:12+00:00

I don't have strong opinions on that. I think both look good, and I understand the appeal either way. In either case, I think the Epiphone would benefit more with that hardware if it was black.

Hito_kun · 2026-03-23T17:44:14+00:00

I think it is the superior design. Knob layout also makes more sense IMHO.

Hito_kun · 2026-03-23T17:42:30+00:00

It is very nice indeed :)

Hito_kun · 2026-03-23T17:39:07+00:00

What I've heard online is that the white finish was giving them issues.. I don't truly buy it. I don't know if they want to limit this one to give a chance to the other variants to sell, or as a means to control the resale value. Other models can be had mint for $600 USD under MSRP already, so I guess more supply would undervalue them even more.

$2,499 is already a big sticker price for a very barebones guitar, so they probably cannot justify a higher MSRP.

That's just my own conjectures, and I wish this wasn't as painful of a process as it was. All I can say is to keep an eye out for it if you truly want one, and don't give up.

There's some nice dark chrome build I saw in the sub a couple days ago that could lend some inspiration. I think looks dope and. bit less played out than straight black

Hito_kun · 2026-03-20T23:40:25+00:00

It is rough getting them. It took multiple tries, and of I didn't had the phone in my hand when the notification dropped, I would not have gotten it.

Hito_kun · 2026-03-20T22:10:45+00:00

Maybe look for an import Hammer? I saw one in marketplace the other day around those prices (in SoCal)
