Hey there,
I recently got myself an explorer and I seem to be enjoying it more than the LP, so I wanted to ask for your help in clarifying its spec/model before it goes for sale.
A fellow forum member mentioned that the model number should normally be written in the pickup cavity. However currently I am not wanting to take the strings off as do not have any spares, but might do very soon. The guitar also has a dimple in its headstock (UK import?). I believe this may be a negative thing among some?
It was sold to me as an LS200 (I believe, LS160 in spec, but with a AAAAA maple top instead). When I purchased, it already had non-original Gotoh Magnum locking tuners and Bareknuckle Abraxas matched set (no originals provided). I've also installed Dunlop locking strap buttons (not seen in photos). I do have the original plastic truss rod cover (black), and pickguard (no holes drilled into the body).
It's in the same nick as when I got (which is when most photos were taken), minus some sweat maybe
Serial: 0921702
Spec: ?
Will try to take some more and better photos tomorrow, but I never seem to get any light here...
Would you also be able to tell me what I should be asking for it? (You're not allowed to underestimate if you're planning on buying it!)![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
