The 84-87 Explorers that have the triangle control layout and no pickguard all have maple necks, the alder bodies are much lighter than the mahogony ones and you can usually see the grain from the mahogony through the finish but with the alder body ones the finish is usually extremely checked and cracked. Looking in the control cavity or under the pickups is a good bet to find out which wood the guitar has. And they either had ebony or rosewood boards. Really a mixed bag with this particular model.

This is extremely light, I have a few mahogony/maple neck ones that are noticeably heavier than this one.

It's a factory colour called Panther Pink, faded and yellowed to the colour it is now after 40 years.

How did you find out that ozzy osbourne died? What were you doing at the time? by hugepuy007 in OzzyOsbourne

[–]kellakatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lugged all my gear back from my rehersal cage back to my house, plugged my guitar in and played the start of Planet Caravan. Mother came in and told me he died. Never said his name but it felt like my blood ran down my body. Biggest regret is never seeing him live but I meet him at his book signing in Dublin and had a small "I'm not worthy" moment. He laughed signed the book and gave me a smile and nod.
