me and my Explorer. not to sound like a broken record, but they are great mid range guitars.
 
midrange epiphones hae utterly shit pickups though.

In all honesty mate get whatever guitar you want so long as you shell out more for some Seymour Duncans afterwards (if the guitar doesn' come with them in the first place).
 
Haha. Still in the learning stages of guitar. I don't wanna drop $1000 on something I might not use too often :

I just meant: buy new strings. :D
And if youre learning, play whatever, you dont need a really good guitar. In fact if you buy a cheap one and learn stuff on it, when you grab a good one you´ll play miles better. I used to play thrash on a spanish guitar for about two years, then I got an electric and it was a piece of cake. :lol:
 
It has a pair of EMG pickups and was used for $80 cheaper than the new one, which is the reason I bought it. I'd upload pictures but.... I dunno how! Pictures from my harddrive I mean...
 
Heres what you do.

1. Go to this website and upload pics. http://imageshack.us/

2. Copy the link of the picture you uploaded and when your posting on here click the "Insert Image" icon, which is the one with the mountains and the yellow background.

3. Paste the link. Post.
 
Well, my email is being gay, I haven't gotten the confirmation. Will edit later with pics.
 
I got the G-400 Goth Series
Pickups do suck but it feels nice, how does the Explorer feel?

ONCE YOU MOVE THE STRAP BUTTON BEHIND THE NECK WHERE IT BELONGS, IT FEELS GREAT. GOOD BALANCE, AND DECENT FRET ACCESS. I SWITCHED THE BRIDGE FOR A DUNCAN, BUT THE NECK IS AMAZING ODDLY ENOUGH. NO REASON TO CHANGE IT.

at the moment i'd only get the bridge. like i said i gives you a good contrast having it that way. i'd say a sh-5 or sh-6.

the sh 4 is good IF you have a good amp. otherwise its not powerfull enough
