I had a '76 Limited Edition Gibson Explorer with gold hardware. It had a neck like half a baseball bat. Some wierd radius. When you played it with a strap it automatically put your hands way up high on the neck like it wanted you to play solos on it... The sound of the pickups was so-so though. Since it had all original parts I didn't want to modify anything and diminish its vintage value (even though I could have re-installed the original pickups... just seemed like too much hassle since I had four other solid bodies that sounded great). As I started playing less and less Metal/Hard Rock/Punk/Southern Rock/Prog Rock I played it less and less until it became my 3rd stringer. Kind of a dust-bunny magnet. Somebody who was looking for one found my post on one of these boards mentioning that I had one and offered me double what I'd originally paid for it. I agonized over it for a little while but in the end I thought it was better that somebody take it out and play it and enjoy it. I had some good years with it. So I let it go. Which is when I quit "collecting" guitars...  But it was fun while it lasted  Chuck

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
