cmatthes Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Interested in any trades? Seriously - very cool guitar. Is it chambered?
cmatthes Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 What does the spruce top add to the sound?A certain "spruciness", perhaps?Actually, I'm not sure about that myself, which is why I was curious to see whether this was chambered. I know on other models where I've played the spruce topped version right next to a maple topped version, the spruce has a more spongy, responsive feel - the attack is certainly articulate, but things seem to be a bit absorbed at first, a rounder or "blooming" sound if that makes any sense at all. The maple topped stuff seemed to be more focused and tighter. I know my adjectives are kind of obtuse, but I know it when I hear it!The guitars I A/B'd were Spruce v. Maple topped Monaco 3s and Newports. Not sure what kind of a difference you'd notice on a Standard, because the construction is drastically different and the top is considerably thinner over a solid body instrument.

crunchee Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I can't quite tell from the photo angle--does it have a rounded heel or a squared heel?
bubs_42 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I got nothing. I wanted that one when it was on Willcutts, Ebay, Ect.
cmatthes Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Oddly enough, when I saw that one, I thought "Bruce919"...
gorch Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Have you any chance to picture a "BIG CHUNKY NECK"? It doesn't come out in the pictures at the top.
edrock Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Man . . . there's something about that Standard that makes me sick with desire . . . and I haven't wanted an Explorer type guitar since I bought my second new axe back in '78 . . . . ! Don't tell me it has a huge neck - my gear card is cracking in half!!!!!!
zorrow Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 This one is too unique to let it go to eBay. Nobody's interested? Really?
edrock Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 This one is too unique to let it go to eBay. Nobody's interested? Really? Had I not just bought a Soloway NYA, a Malinoski Rodeo and a Snider Chicago . . . . . seriously, somebody needs to keep this baby in HFC circulation.
zorrow Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I have to hide those pictures from my wife, as she could end compulsively purchasing it... just because it's beautiful and the price is low. No, seriously, she loves Explorers!
specialk Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Come on! People, this is the one to have. If I had the cash it would be on its way to me....
Steve Haynie Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Keep the threads alive and be patient. Hold out until next spring. You are not the only one with gear that is not moving right now. A lot of us would like to own either one of those Standards.
