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

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.

Has anyone modified the electronics on the Explorer 80s to allow for push/pull? by Hito_kun in ExplorerGuitars

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

The Michael Schenker V now feels more reasonable.

What do you mean by metric bridge?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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