- Happy Monday! We just got a ton of awesome new guitars, basses, and amps in over the weekend - to start it off, we've got an incredible 1976 Gibson Explorer and a 1977 Marshall JMP Mk2 Lead half-stack in the fawn tolex! This Explorer is in remarkable condition, with only a few minor marks on the beautiful Alpine White finish, and minor tarnish on some of the gold plating. All in all, its in original condition and a great playing first-year Explorer reissue. Then, we have this fantastic Marshall half-stack that is super loud at 100w, looks awesome in the fawn finish, and has a modded second channel by Rick Erickson. We lucked out today when Aaron Hiebert stopped by, so we put him to work with this killer combination!
For more information on the guitar or amp, please give us a call or email as these just arrived in the shop, and will be on our site soon!

Explorers are extremely underrated, amazing and versatile guitars.
Truth
Until you try to fit one in a car lol.
@@shakeyjonez True, they should come with a free van or 70’s station wagon 😬
And don't forget the fret access, light weight, balance and comfort.
Lord have mercy
Thats about right aint nothing like a great guitar plugged into a great amp
100%
On my black soul
Screw the house, I'm buying this
Tarbacks are great pickups but they suffered the misfortune of being paied with 300k volume pots and 150k tone pots . Which in many cases choked their tone and made them sound dark but with 500k all around the become one of the best pickups ever made . The clean tones are amazing and they have so much clarity with overdrive and despite internet rumors they are not just a potted t top . They are very different. They were designed by bill Lawrence. They reason people think they are potted t tops is because they have t for bobbins but the bobbin is the only similarity. The wind is completely different and they have ceramic magnets and they came as calibrated pairs. The neck is unusually 5k to 5.2 I and the bridge fall between 7.3k and 7.8k but the ceramic magnet gives then the ability to punch above there weight the sew my favorite pickups for an sg . I think 70s sgs are criminally underrated
”Dark”is good!Treble is the enemy.
@@bobolsen8067 So true. Growing up playing Gibsons in the 70/80/90 they had had darker and beefier tones/ Why do all Gibsons sound like single coil Strats now. Stop the madness Gibson and stop making your guitars so light like your using balsa wood. Gibsons use to be big and powerful. You ripped out the Big block and drop in a 2 litre without even a turbo. BTW get someone to play with that amp cranked. on this end sounds like the mater volume is on maybe 3 and the pre-amp volume is wide open. Stinky tone
@@lovingpeace9715 The original Gibsons of the golden era (50's/60's) had a way brighter and chimier tone than the muddy sounding stuff they produced in the 70/80/90's... Glad they got back there at least a little bit and also stopped using low quality and dead sounding wood laminated in 7 pieces like they did under norlin... I agree on the tone of the Marshall though
That bridge pickup absolutely ripped!
Interesting details! Are there any good copies available today?
What a cool pair. Pure rock power.
Cheers
That Marshall is absolutely killer love the rare tolex variations
I'm just glad to see this store made it through the riots...
Did this guy just play welcome home by Coheed and Cambria. What a fucking legend
Nice C&C riffs buddy.
Kind of ironic that Welcome Home is one of the few Coheed & Cambria songs that Claudio doesn’t play an explorer on.
Kinda late catching this one. Love the guitar and amp (I have the same amp, fawn tolex, but in the 50 watt 212 combo version, with the controls on top). Very clean condition. Also, VERY heavy…and loud! Sounds great.
NOTHING like that full rig. Wow. Well executed also. Really showed off the range of moods.
Wow man! That sound absolutely killer!
That things needs some chug love. Put the hammer down and give it the beans!
Great Demo, so very appropriate for that Guitar/Amp combination.
I feel much the same as Chris Kilian, "Screw the house, I'm buying this".
Hot Humbucker + Marshall Stack ÷ a stellar guitarist = BADASS DEMO !!!!!
It’s funny how things change as you get older. I remember in the 90’s when I was into JMP MV models, every time I was looking for them it would half the time be a fawn one. I was always “Man, not another fawn one”. I wanted the traditional color. Now I guess fawn is rare? Lol. Great to see Jay still doing EC and hope they’re doing well. Good guy and it kind of trips me out to see his son full grown in the vids as I remember when he was just a little guy. When he was starting to be in the shop more it would throw me as they’d call out Trevor and I kept thinking they were talking to me...lol
Almost pooped myself when you started playing Welcome Home 🙌👌super cool demo
thanks jay
You’re killing me dude this is gunner😎
Can we get an "Artist Spotlight" on Aaron? I've seen him so much on this channel that it's starting to feel like a one-night stand that's lasted years... at this point, I feel like I need to know the guy better. One of my absolute favorite EC videos was Tyler giving us his amazing knowledge on PAF pickups (really wish there were more shop/tech videos like that one). I understand the risk of "personality" style videos, but that's just my two cents.
I'd also like to hear what the players have to say about the guitars after demoing? Maybe like an overdub, or a summary by them? Just their own thoughts about how the guitar feels/responds from their literal hands-on experience. Don't get me wrong! I love the pre-game analysis, but I'd also really like to hear a post-game wrap. Doesn't have to be too in-depth, just another perspective.
Don't misunderstand, though! These videos are some of my favorite day-to-day viewings (so I suppose there is something to be said about "If it ain't broke, don't fix it").
I hear ya. He's probably not to social. He must do nothing but sit in a room alone and practice to be that good.
I wish they would at least show the amp settings and speakers every time. If they are straight in and what else they are using if not. And. something nobody does, show the volume and tone settings on the guitar.
I also wish they would show a B-Roll footage of the amplifier's controls as they were set during the demo.
Hearing the Players thoughts about the guitar and how it feels/plays would be pretty informative too.
That said, at the end of the day these videos are only for the purpose of selling the featured instrument/amplifier, and in that respect I would think they do well.
@@hkguitar1984 I love to tune in and look and listen. Love the way they present their products and demo them for us. Maybe I'm greedy wanting more. lol. But the shit is so cool i want to see and learn as much as I can.
they should give him that guitar and amp to play from hear on out.
Reminds me of my Marshall
'76 MK2 mv I had late 80s. Sounded like Mick Ralphs, Bad Co. Mott the Hoople with a bit of Page, beauty !
I own a 77 jmp2204 in fawn. I'd love this rig!!
Good chunk of change no doubt but it is doable if one is so inclined. Love the patina on the guitar it is naturally reliced to where I want to see it. Good luck to the guitarist who picks this one up
Very Nice.👌👍
Of course he plays Coheed and Cambia on an Explorer.
im hearing shades of Paul and Ace!!!!!!!!!!
Had to put my drink down
Stunning combinaion
Sensational!!!🙄😪🤩😃
Where my Early Metallica fans @
Hetfield's original white Explorer was a 1984 I believe.
Taco Conch that's correct
I like the gear but i dont like how the cabs are miced. they sound out of phase. please placed the mic where it sounds bold. in phase sound.
I need that half stack
Finally a GOOD test!!
Should a '76 serial number not start with 00?
I have a original 76 too, and there is also "explorer and made in usa" impressed on the back of the headstock
Aaron👊🏻 Rocks💥
Explorer + JMP... Not playing a proper high gain setup through this rig is a crime. Add a vintage tubescreamer to the gear and play some Ride the Lightning ffs.
That'll put some hair on the nads :)
No one’s going to mention that he played a bit of Welcome Home by Coheed? 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸
You need to add a big ol delay, grab a herdim pick, and play that through a Vox!
Maravilloso🤟🏼
I know it's 2 years ago but did the headstock break at one point? What
is that line going across the headstock through the truss rod cover? It's really noticeable.
I see you jamming coheed on the explorer!
Good Lord, indeed
77 is a special year for Marshall just ask Johan Segeborn
Did you use any pedal? Or straight to the JMP2203? Because It's probably the worst sound I heard from a 2203 so far
The grain on that fretboard is going diagonally, that’s unusual no?
There is a reason I own 8 Gibson Explorers. A friend was kind enough to sell me an original 76 reissue ver2 with the 50s neck. Original case, total cost $400. Money ain’t everything.
Hi do you have any any similar Explorers for sale?
Too fuzzy , needs to be eq
Well this may be the same one of Matthias Jabs of Scorpions guitar back in 79
1:00 strange pattern in the headstock lacquer?
surely a break
Yeah
Good eye JR159753
What I believe you are seeing is the reflection of the diffuser pattern of the dedicated studio photo lamp.
Otherwise one would think there was some form of a material pattern sort of embossed into the top of the headstock's lacquer.
I really think it is a reflection from the photo lighting.
Huge
I used a old rat in the front kicked ass
What was he playing at the 5:10 mark?
Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home I think that's it anyways.
The guitar is ok.
Almost any guitar plugged into that amp will sound like that. But don't worry..There are many pedals that will get you there.
Wampler,Joyo crunch , and the little mosky plexi. The last one is amazing.
I would cut the back out and make a SHARKENSTINE out of it.
Sorry to spoil the party, but this sounded rather fizzy I am afraid.
Sounds Mediocre.
