I am pretty much speechless with this bad boy, 'mid life crisis' guitar of the year! Sounds and plays excellently and it's near mint and all original. The neck is fat 50's style and the whole guitar is 8lb 9oz of resonant joy :)

    Fit. I love explorers. My first proper guitar was a Gibson explorer gothic. Still have it but it's showing the scars of 10 years giging in a metal band!

    It has a history too, was owned by the guitarist from The Band Of Joy, Robert Plant & John Bonhams band before Zep!

    Oh that is beautiful. You couldn't get me interested in an explorer - unless in that finish, with that hardware. Gorgeous!

    Ding. Dong.
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Wow! That's stunning. Very Edge :).

    On a rather geek note ;), I never realised they used 6-on-a-strip tuners before now.

    That is gorgeous!! 
    I actually thought I was looking in the classifieds at first and I'm like, "How much is this?"

    If I had an Explorer, that is what I would want it to look like so yep, what a superb NGD :)
