Explorer project incoming

That's a lovely room you've got there Brent. I like the cut neck hanging and bouncing. The guitar looks fantastic with the pickguard. Is it made from wood? It takes a bit saussage from the sandwich, easing the look. Really nice.

As far as I can see in the video, the string lead on the headstock is much more straight than on Standards. So, your guitar would be a great candidate for a floating tremolo that I had missed at some points in your playing.

Great job Brent!

Thanks man!

I found the husk on ebay. He had a Bacchus Explorer on ebay that I was thinking about buying and then I saw that he also had this husk for sale. I liked the look of this one better even though it required a lot more elbow grease. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Thank you!

The PG is wood...it came with the husk.

Are you referring to putting a Kahler on it? I don't think I could do that. Maybe a Vibromate and a bigsby?

/emoticons/default_laugh.png No, I'm not a Kahler jerk. I'm not sure, but think Wilkinson has a nice one that would fit optically to the bridge you have on now. It was just an idea that came up while watching you playing in the video. I thought a whammy bar would make it even nicer.

I put a Schaller LP trem on a MIK Standard years ago. However, sometimes I struggle with the headstock angle of the Standard. Your guitar seem to be a better candidate though.

 
Nice! Contrasting wood binding on the fretboard, too? /emoticons/default_wub.png What kind of wood is the fretboard made from?

 
That went a lot quicker than my projects usually do! Very nice result, too, congratulations!

 
That guitar has a 70's look. Somehow, it gives the feeling that it would have been one of those guitars wished for all during high school.

Does it feel like an old friend?

 
BGE lives!

Great stuff, Brent! Love the spanky clean tones. What pickups did you go with (or did I miss that?)?

 
Brent, while I like your playing, it is incumbent on any player with a new Explorer to play the following song:
