Some people might think this is a silly question... but is the inside of the 2018 Gibson Explorers hand wired? I've had people tell me they were PCB, but not sure if it's true. Great playing and great tone BTW.
Shepherd Hieb thank ya bro and they're hand wired. I've had to replace Gibson pots in the past especially volume pots but we'll have to wait and see on this one. Either way not a big deal.
Alex Woolridge That’s the plan! 😎 Are you boosting the Marshall with anything there? Sounds great full on, but digging the chime you’re getting too with the guit’s volume rolled back. I have a DSL40C fwiw.
Nice man the dsl40s are great. I have one too but the jcm2000 dsl100 is on the clean channel in this video. I drove it with a Wampler Plexidrive Deluxe pedal. Probably my favorite drive I own
@@cardbored_ it feels like a modern les paul neck. I couldn't tell you what actual shape it is but I like it. I have a 1961 les paul jr that has a thin blade neck but that is very obvious while playing. My explorer feels great though. Not too fat, not too thin
@@alexwoolridge94aw February 20, 2022, (seems like a year) but you know those models are going to the people waiting on back order. I doubt they will make enough to meet demand. I'm just going to get a Studio LP. I very envious of you, because that thing looks and sounds fantastic!
@@kravitz1999 well that just sucks! you might call sweetwater.com and have them put you on a pre order list for the Explorer. If you're envious of mine you're not gonna be happy settling for the Les Paul studio. I bought mine as a blemish product from musicians friend back in 2018 so try checking for used ones as well. Good luck to you man and thanks this Explorer is one amazing machine
@@alexwoolridge94aw Thanks man, I'm already on the back order list at Sweetwater and Zzounds, but they both said don't hold my breath for one until late next year. Take care man!
Gibson + Marshall amps = pure bliss
Hell yeah dude killer playing! I just ordered my explorer i cant wait to get it 🤘
Thanks bro and awesome. You'll love it
Sounds awesome nice playing!! What do you think of it?
m k thank ya. I really like it. I've had it since September and it grows on me more every day. Well balanced and hasn't let me down at gigs either

Thanks and I'm not 100% sure on weight but I'd confidently say it weighs under 10 pounds
AWESOME Gibson tone! Rock on!😁
Hey thanks!
Beautiful Guitar, I have 4 explorers. You get great tone Nice playing.
Christopher oneill thanks. I'd definitely buy more Explorers. Just recently added all gold hardware and it's even nicer

@@alexwoolridge94aw F'ing Optimal! I have an 82 Explorer in a relic'd white...it is amazing. I am a 5 watt tone junky...enjoy the night!

Alex Woolridge Think I’m about to pull the trigger on one of these, wish me luck! 😎
sixbladeknife44 do it man. You'll love it. Love mine

So, this model (when assembled "correctly") has a unique sound, right?
It sounds like a modern Gibson. I like the feel of it and it's definitely a different animal than my Les Pauls
@@alexwoolridge94aw what’s the neck shape like?

What Marshall head is that?
It's an English made Jcm2000 dsl100 from 1998
@@alexwoolridge94aw are you using any pedals?
Yup. A wampler Plexidrive deluxe
I got one😎
Hellllllll yeahhhhhh
Is that your… biggest fan? 😅

What pups in your gibson?
Gibson Burstbuckers

Todd Leonard the wait times on a new Explorer is a year? Damn
