Hello from Ohio

Postby 77custom on Wed Sep 16, 2009 10:43 am

Just wanted to introduce myself.

my name is Ed, 44 yrs old, married 14 yrs, 2 kids, lots o' guitars and amps. My main gigging rig is a L.P. into a Marshall. I do love the Firebird though. I'll post some pics when I get the whole group together.

Take care,

Welcome Ed,glad to have you!
Is that a Gibson Explorer? The "horn" looks a little pointier, but could just be the angle. Pretty sweet anyway!

Tony,

it is a Gibson Explorer. It's a 1984 designer edition. It used to have these weird decals under the laquer, but the decals started to curl, causing the laquer to crack so I had it refinished. I think the angle and lighting/background may have something to do with the "horn" looking pointier than normal.

I think it might have been the contrast between the black guard & white body that had me thinking it was pointier. Nice guitar!
