Always Loved the Explorer

Thanks for this. I had assumed every actor was a guitar virtuoso. Boy, was I wrong!

A video of the worst guitar performances by actors would be great. I highly recommend checking out the Zach Attack episode of Saved by the Bell for some of the worst guitar mining you’ve seen on film. (Rockumentary Season 4 Episode 22)

No, according to the credits of crossroads its Ry Cooder who is playing the telecaster parts in the battle

That was fun to watch. Thank you! Gotta admit, I got goosebumps watching the Antonio Banderas parts. Desperado is such a cool and unique movie, the music fits in perfectly, and Banderas' whole delivery (including his singing and guitar playing) is nothing short of iconic. Nobody could have done it like him. Need to rewatch this movie stat.

from my understanding, the animated movies Coco and Soul are accurate in how the instruments are played!

Fascinating, thanks for sharing 😊

Great video! There is one thing I REALLY despise in films and tv shows, and that is when they have a band or musician playing in a scene, and it is blatantly obvious the person holding the instrument has never even held the instrument before in their life. I've seen bass players seemingly strumming chords, guitar players just laying their hand flat on the fretboard while some virtuosic solo plays, and saxophones magically playing themselves while the saxophonist just humps the air. At the very least look for an extra that knows how to correctly hold their instrument.

I just finished watching this video and wanted to check the comments only to find that there aren't many under the video. To me it seemed like this video was made by a big channel with many subscribers, simply because of the production quality. So it was surprise to find out that wasn't the case. This was a really good and interesting video and you deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the great content.

Great video bro. Hopefully you will have more subs soon.

Guess what I am getting a dinky gutair in black and blue soon js20

With This Guitar you can channel "The Voice of the Soul" Rip Chuck Schuldiner 🤘

The 2nd Pic you showed was a Chinese rep 😢

The Explorer sounds great, and the shape is different and unique. But I prefer the 1958 shape to the more pointy 1976 shape. I will also say, the Explorer is much more attractive than an SG (which is almost as bad as a Corvus).

I am yet play a Explorer

Vivian Campbell's lightnings guitar

Dude Jakes the best by far. Period 🤘

I love watching honkeys my age talkin bout 80s metal.

With Randy Rhoades, it's a toss up between his Polkadot V or his Jackson V

😂😂😂😂

Apparently Japanese are pirates now? meh, Okay

How the hell do you not put Michael Schenker's black and white flying V on this list is beyond me.

gotta say, you are all about the guitars but dont know the frankenstein story.... doesnt speak well for future videos

jake e lee all the way!!!!! not an exciting looking guitar tho

I believe it was CC Deville who had a guitar that had a Nagel girl on it. Nagel pictures were all the rage, just think Duran Duran album cover art and you know what a Nagel is. Can't get more 80's than that.

YES!!! Lynch has always been my #1 followed by Warren, Jake e Lee, Andy Larocque... I always thought the kamikaze was bad ass esp. with an actual pic of a real kamikaze fighter pilot... then the bombs!!.. hell yeah, bad ass... but what really caught my attention was the one he used in his instructional video. It was a kamikaze also, but in a desert storm finish!!! ...When i saw that i was done for, i had to have it!!! (Still don't) 😂 but one day, it'll be on my wall but it has to be the original ESP version not the LTD. ....One day... i can dream right?!! and while im dreaming i might as well get the J Frog bones guitar too huh?!! 😴.....😂😂😂 Great rundown of the best 80's paint jobs!! 👍

Lol I love my SG shape and it fits in my Les Paul case. I'll take a hard pass on the Explorer and keep my SG, thanks.

AMAZING VIDEO MAN! you should do the same for the 90s….. (more specifically covering ALL of Billy Corgans many Strats), Keep it up dude

I find it so ergonomic and comfortable to grab the body under my right arm but maybe I'm wearing it too high. But I'd like to try it with a 25.5" scale.

why you yelling

New to the channel. Cool content, but the over-the-top, high pitched delivery is abrasive. It's okay to dial it back just a hair.

My first quality guitar ❤ An ergonomic nightmare, but Eastwoods neck profile helps a lot, the build quality is impressive and the vintage tone is spot on. Only 20 frets and anything beyond the 15th is not that accessible but overall a great axe... Just make sure you also have something more mundane in your arsenal. Also I wouldn't call it Decò, it's more of a late 50s Space Race era futuristic design. Kind of what they thought the future would look like in 1959, it's just the coolest thing. I'm never gonna part ways with it.

Both great .

What does the paperwork call it?

The Gibson Explorer is the coolest guitar in the Universe!!!Together with the Flying V!!!

Nobody likes the firebird x

I had the change to play an explorer. Sitting down, I prefer the sg. Standing up, I prefer a rickenbacker 330 or 620. Jk. I love the sound of an explorer but there’s something about pointy guitars that doesn’t appeal to me

I do like the Explorer shape, but don't know if it would be very practical for my MOR, pop-rock gigs.

I was mainly a Gibson man from 1969 to 2003, and owned quite a few LPs, SGs, and 335s over the decades, many of the classics, even a 1959 Gibson ES-335 w/OHSC in the red cherry as my first Gibson for $185 (used) in 1969. I cut a lot of gigs on SG Standards and Specials from '69 through 1979. I still own three great Gibson guitars (new purchase 2010 SG Std.- 60s model, used 2010 (HSH) Nighthawk Std. and a clearance priced 2013 EB5 bass). I came to realize that Gibsons are more of a luxury item, these days mostly for bragging rights, ha, and not necessarily a practical working man's electric guitar for gigs. Henry J. pretty much priced out the working musician from 1985 onward, but the quality was not commensurate with the high prices. Gibsons have always been problematic. My first new SG Std. in 69, was stamped a Second, although I was never sure why, ha. Now I own a lot of other big name brands that I find play and sound better than Gibsons, with many more player friendly features I like. I can find new and used USA, Canadian and Asian brands under a grand that are just fantastic guitars. I usually play a bunch of a particular model, and take my time, sometimes years, until I find the exact one that suits me best, and I'm usually in no rush, I'm pretty picky. Gibsons just don't make the quality or player friendly cut anymore. To me they have more issues than benefits anymore, esp. at the ridiculous prices,, and don't even come set-up, with a lot of tuning instability. The three Gibsons I have I was very picky about and passed up a plethora of others. I don't plan to buy anymore. Just not worth it to me on any level of quality, price, features, set-up, tuning stability, correctly cut nut, etc. They are famous for the headstocks shearing off, which is mainly why I hesitate to take them to gigs. One unexpected bump and you're looking at a repair job, which can hurt resale. I might try taking out the Nighthawk one of these days, the headstock doesn't have the drastic pitch of the LP, SG and 335, etc., and it has two coil taps and the basic versatility of a LP combined with Strat features. That badboy might cut the gig, TBD. But, I will have a Fender, Charvel, Carvin, etc. SSH Strat style as a back-up on hand most likely.

$6000 for a very heavy,very fragile guitar that wont stay in tune that you are afraid to play because its an investment. They are just for posers . Doctors lawyers,overlords.

Fender used the same tremolo route in the Elite series ♫♪♫

Strat Standard 1983

I have a 93 custom shop in heritage cherry. I love that guitar. I am a bigger guy so it looks better on me than my les Paul. The band I was in when I first got it in 97 used to refer to it as the coffee table. Lol.

Sadly I love Theodore. I can't be the only one. Looks like as if Gibson designed a Tele.

If you don't like the Explorer or SG, you gargle ball-gravy.

2 words, LOVE IT!! from "Colonel" Bill Sanders

They need to bring the RD back... and do it right this time.... 25.5" scale, maple fretboard optional.

The corvus was supposed to be headless which is why the body looks the way it does

The Modern is a beautiful guitar..unique

While I'm not a fan of agibson guitars, it IS amazing that Gibson came up with the Jumbo/Super Jumbo acoustic guitar body shape as well as iconic acoustic(SJ-200), hollowbody electric (ES-335) and solidbody electric guitars (Les Paul and SG).
