Born in 73, I bought my first guitar in 88, these guitar's were so influencial. The big 4 (thrash) and hair metal. So cool 😎.

That explorer is hot, I prefer the 80s in white though.

[@jeffsimslmt]

Edge (U2) Alan Collins (Lynetf Skinetd), Neil Young, Gary Moore, Foo Fighter Dave Grohl… to name a few.played Explorers.

[@williekenk]

I kind of love seeing these into a blues jr with a DS-1. Not the traditional metal set up, but that’s what I’m working with too!

[@chefpjsmith]

😈😈Go Cooper........Long live Cooper style metal...

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

oh, wow those are super dope in the late 80's I had a knockoff of the Explorer called infinex

[@yomalab]

Great overtones of "long hand saw blade" on Explorer's bridge pickup. Both PUs sound even handy when original low output PAFs in parallel IMHO... closer to P-90s First guitar I've tried in music store was Epi Gothic Explorer. So I dig it.

I’ve always loved Explorers. Not these, but the reissues they made in the seventies. You know, the ones with pickguards and chrome covers. Lower output pickups… LOVE THEM! If you’ve never tried one because they look uncomfortable, then try them, because you were wrong. They’re amongst the most comfortable guitars I’ve ever played and they sound amazing. Not just for rock, but for any style of music. As for the V…. Not my cup of tea. 😬

"Over-wound,uncovered puckup"?I know that girl.

[@KaninManeepairoj]

Sure Cooper. Hello Tony Policastro

[@jleverette666]

Would look better with an ebony fretboard

[@jimdoner3443]

He reminded me of MR.KING on that flying V , till he hit the ludicrous padal. 😮

[@stevedriver1476]

these guitars were originally made in the 1950,s,, and were often used by country players. the hair, tattoo, boy bands turned me off these guitars,, for ever,, But the little river band used an explorer on their first album and it was incredible. listen to its a long way there full version, WOW, you may have to look around but the 2 minute explorer solo is how they were made to sound,,, dirty clean.

[@johnwashburn3793]

Along with lower back pain,you no longer have the hair for a hair metal band. Does it come with a wif?

[@charlottesimonin2551]

Proves that guitars need to be played and listened to before you purchase. Looks matter less than the sound you get in your own hands,

[@johnwashburn3793]

You still don't want one, but now you can afford one.

[@johnwashburn3793]

So it's not Coopur,but Cooper? Got it. I usually just call Mr. Greenberg "sir"

[@jimdoner3443]

😂😂😂

[@chickenlickin3820]

A wasp in a jar?

[@ThisDudeKhyle]

The Explorer reminds me of James Hetfield from Metallica.

[@artrogers3985]

That V looks really uncomfortable 🎸
