UTILIZATION
Explore them are extremely enjoyable to play guitar, both sitting and standing. The handle is an ideal profile for any type of game (typical Explorer again)
SOUNDS
Contrary to popular belief, are exploring the blues guitar originally intended.
They were not adopted by the metal scene that later.
Its configuration EMG 60 / 81 gives an impressive versatility (yes)
Readily obtained sounds heavy, bluesy rock or even playing on the volume and equalizer.
The cleans are also impressive, but require fine adjustments.
OVERALL OPINION
I do not own this guitar for a few weeks.
It is a model I was looking for years (long before its reissue of 2007 "Guitar Of The Week 47")
Obviously, I love Metallica but I think it was that I loved before peeling to love the riffs Hetfieldiens!
I had many other guitars (including a lot of Gibson, an ESP - same config pickups and other models) but this guitar is really my favorite.
I find both aggressive and a purity to breathtaking ...
It is a jewel of great rarity (I know what I mean) I have a lot of fun to play!
