There's just something about Gibson Explorers, they sound perfect. I've owned 5 or 6 of them and every one has been killer.

No shit, but perfection wont come for free

if you change the scale length of the guitar to a scale length it wasnt built for, im gonna guess that it wont sound the same.

Kherman, I as looking at that very model last night deciding if I should go for it or not. Your guitar looks amazing man. I think I'm going to check out the Pro models, but I don't see it on Gibson's current site. Is it discontinued or did I just miss it?

Well kramer used to sell this...

Hopefully they'll get em back in stock sometime in the next ten fucking years

, cause I wouldnt mind having one. Cool guitars for an insane price. Might not be exactly what your looking for but its close. The body is a lot closer to a gibson explorer than the ESP EX, it's got that 25.5" scale you want, and it has that gothic look like the explorer you had before, but again, it isnt an american made masterpiece, its an economy guitar, however from what I hear these things are great, especially for that price. I see em pop up on ebay every now and again. Anyways, I hope this helps a bit!
