Yo guys

Im planning to get an Explorer look a like guitar...I saw afew at Guitar Collection...about Rm4.6K~ Rm6K pun ada...


I haven't set a budget yet but wanna see what other brands there are out there.


Any Wood colour like James Hetfield's explorer?


Thanks~!

SX brand also got ...
at woh fatt

ic ic

any idea on pricings? thanks

guitar collection mid valley?

Yeah went there already but 1 Utama branch.

kinda expensive but was sort of expected.

dont mind getting a look a like =D and change pickups to 81/85 Emgz hehe

hetfield's explorer(the wood coloured) is custom made dude.

" The specialty of the Kenny Lawrence Explorer:
In difference between this Explorer-shaped guitar James' other Explorers, this one has a modified headstock. This guitar is no "stock product" - it's a special design.
Otherwise Ken Lawrence is specialized in building hand-made basses which makes a guitar built by him even more unusual."

you can get the ESP or gibson one though.

There's an Epiphone Goth Explorer at Rhapsody (I think that's the store's name) in Mid Valley. About RM2.5k.

should be below RM1k or a tad above RM1k.

i see. thanks blacktrix.

Shall set my budget about RM4K for a decent explorer then.

Will see how in February =)
Already settled getting my new pc. this year shall be my new guitar.


damn jamtank..can't post new post...damnit...

ex-50 is around 1k
SX explorer is aruond 800
if 4k then can go for the nicer ltd explorers =D

Heck, you can even go for the newer Epiphone Prophesy Explorer...... EMGs and Floyd Rose included.

http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_fx.html

can be found in gc not sure how much, should be around 2-3k

sx explorers bout 800 for the setneck model

No way man...If i'm not mistaken...those FX model going for RM6K.

Anyway that day when i enquired, the one with diamond metal plate..RM4.6K+


will check out SX or something hehe

Epiphone Prophesy Explorer <== I will google for pictures and info hehe

oh EX 50 is about RM1K plus? =D can consider man


Another question...uh..

Given afew options... I like to have a heavier crunch for palm muting

which one will be better? EMG or Seymour Duncan? sorry I dont know any particular model

81? 85? After listening to the demo...85 seems nicer

Anyway any recommendations?

My plan is to get an Explorer then probably change the pups. unless the stock pickups are actually not bad.

EMG 85 bridge, EMG 60 neck.
perfect EMG combo

woo...will check out EMG 60 =D

I thought like you when I first started, not using the Neck pickup, but the more I played, the more I realize how important the neck pickup is, and especially the tone and volume controls......

yea..only use it once in awhile for certain tone and all..

no way?! seriously wth? that guitar 6k ?
guitar collection is crazy ><
the epi prophecy looks like an aneroxic explorer =p

yea.if i'm not mistaken lah..coz saw the wood body one..RM6K++
