OT - New guitar day

[Blazer88]

I've had the parts to this guitar sitting around for well over two years now and I finally got around to finishing it up over christmas time. I have another one that should be done this week as well that is going to be sweet. Bonus points to anyone who knows what this guitar is a replica of and who plays it

looks cool 22 frets,how long you have them,ever plug it in what the sound like.love to check it out.,,i stil have single stack marshall tube superlead 100w

These guitars sound great, I love the thick tone from a mahogany guitar. I'm picking up my other one today that is just like this one but it has a transparent black finish over a flamed maple top. I currently play through a Crate (solid-state amp) half-stack but my Peavey XXX 120W all-tube high gain amp shows up tomorrow. That's going to scream through my 4-12" Celestions What gear do you have and what kind of music do you play?

its a rep of a gibson explorer. not sure who played it

 

[plack]

I will guess ace freely of kiss?

What I do know is I have a base with that same brand of pickups in at a 5 string and it sounds great
I wonder how much of the sound you like from it is actually from those pickups and not really from the wood itself !
I used to play 80's music with many different bands in hollywood and recorded an LP once in some nice studio's.

I couldn't play more than a note to save my life.... but can appreciate how stunningly beautiful that is! Congrats, and enjoy

 

[crizzleb]

what pickups do you use. are they emg 81/85 I have been thinking about getting some of those. ARe you buying your parts from warmoth to build your guitar as well?

 

[edwing206]

Nice! I'm hoping to save enough and get a les paul not too long from now. Or maybe a PRS.
Got any pics of your collection?

This guitar has EMG 81/60 in it and the other black Explorer that I just finished up has 81/85. I'll post pictures of the black on in just a little bit. All of my electrics have either EMG 81/85 or 81/60 pickups in them, I just love the high output from them. Warmoth makes some great stuff but they unfortunately don't build an explorer body that matches what ESP got sued for, which makes sense. I can't stand their "Explorer" design which is why I had these bodies built using an ESP Explorer for the template.

I am a leftie and I want an ESP MH 1000 So I did their custom quote thingy thinking ok maybe 2500-3000 NOT EVEN close they wanted to charge me 6600 to build one when the right handed is 949. How lame is that.
