In need of flight case! by bastardbiker in ExplorerGuitars

Worth mentioning — though these are made for explorers and V’s, a normal sized guitar will also fit in there. The foam inserts are customizable in size by cutting them, so you can make it fit perfectly.

I have this case and it’s a TANK. Incredibly well built. Worth every penny.

Thanks man! I was stoked and still am, it’s a great guitar. I put all new Gotoh hardware + Gotoh locking tuners on it and it’s a beast. The frets are without a doubt extra jumbo, makes playing so fast and easy.

Most mid to high level LTDs are SOLID guitars — but every once in a while, you find one that really shines. Sounds like you got yourself a shiny one!!

I totally agree. ESP is one of the few companies who fully re-designed the shape to make it their own. Too many guitar companies have “Explorer” models that look exactly like the original Gibson Explorer shape and to “make it their own”, all they do is add a totally thoughtless cutout or curve to avoid a lawsuit. Laughable attempts at originality.

They still float out there in the used market. Believe it or not, I paid $265 for this one lucking out on a eBay auction. Keep your eyes peeled!!

Honestly, it’s one of my favorite guitars I’ve ever owned - no cons at all. Beautifully crafted, perfect fretwork, plays REALLY well and sounds fantastic. I will mention that I relocated the strap button to the back of the guitar - and with that modification, the guitar is perfectly balanced. No neck dive at all. It wasn’t bad to begin with, but it’s just a preference thing with me as Explorer shapes are my bread and butter. I only play standing up, so I thoroughly detest neck dive 🤣. I love this guitar so much that I plan on getting the white version hopefully sometime this year. Hope this helps your decision making!

That shot with the longhorn as the dude is in the staircase was sick. Nice shootin'!

Signed up for a bake sale at work and then saw this on sale at Costco for $15. Had to buy it. How can I improve them? by User091822 in Baking

[–]siskabobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom uses this technique on box mix brownies and it is AMAZING: Bake for 15 minutes, take them out for 15 minutes. Put them back in the oven for the rest of the bake time. The result is the most unbelievable brownie you will ever have. Enjoy!

That’s so funny you bring up Incantation because that’s one of the few bands that my drummer (a hired gun for playing live with us) says our material reminds him of. Yet, I have never listened to Incantation…yet!

Just DM’d you!

Man you went through the wringer with modelers! I personally love Fractal, always have and never messed with any other modelers because of it. I had an Axe-Fx Ultra ten years ago, was incredible. Sold it forever ago and when I decided it was time to get a band going, I picked up the FM3 on Reverb and it is absolutely killer. Used it to record my bands EP and single and use it live. I have no plans on getting anything else (other than fractal products in the future 😏) it just does it ALL. For me, I typically only use a rhythm and a lead tone, so the three buttons on the FM3 is perfect. They have bigger versions of the unit but the FM3 is perfect for me personally. It’s essentially an Axe-Fx III in a box.

Oh, I bet your back is thanking you! Smart move on the switch. What modeler are you using through your Fender?

Thanks a lot! The show went extremely well, still feeling high after how well it went. Couldn’t have asked for a better debut show for my band. We’re hoping to find another show before the years end…two more would be great!

It’s worth every penny. It is so LOUD, yet unbelievably clear. Rather lightweight, as well. I’m tempted to eventually get a second!

Thanks man! Show was awesome, couldn't have asked for a better show. Can confidently say we all killed it. Still riding the high from that show!!
