Dave Mustaines new sig Explorer LOL!

I'm more distracted by the poor guy's hairline. I had him pegged as one of those lucky blokes who will always have a full head of hair, but man, he's got some pronounced male-pattern goin' on there when his bangs from the middle aren't hiding it. Ah well, doesn't affect the music.
 
I think the gold V thingy in the bridge looks pretty terrible. Otherwise, I have nothing against that guitar myself, as I've set myself to a mental state that reads "I will buy an explorer for next guitar" all over it :grin:
 
It looks like dick... when's dave gonna settle on a fucking design already and kind of make it "his"?

Vai's got the monkey grip, Jimi, Yngwie, Clapton, Eric Johnson and SRV with the Strats, Rhoads with the offset V, Marty HAD the Kelly, Paul Stanley's iceman....

Dean comes across pretty badly almost all the time. Its like pseudo poseur marketing for whatever reason... and this Explorer looks like shit. I'd rather have an Axxion than this.

Lastly... I fucking hate distressed wannabe retro shit. Earn your battle scars on your own.

Props to mentioning his tech though. willie G's my boy!

I thought he already did that... When I think about Dave, I have a dude with a Flying V in mind. Preferably a Jackson King V.

Compared to many other "legends", he didn't stray all that much.

But.. who cares?

I don't really like anything but the original shaping (including banana headstock) as far as Explorers go.

ESP's take on the Explorer is waaaay worse than this though IMHO. I'm probably pretty much alone with that opinion haha.
 
Ugly fucking guitar is fucking ugly. Headstock = WRONG, why the FUCK is there that GAY AS FUCK v/boomerang bullshit after the bridge?!? and who in the HELL told him the dots AND fins would be a good idea? Fugly as fugg.

Give me a normal ass Gibson fucking Explorer over that weak bullshit kthxbai
