    That mystery explorer was made between 76-1989. It’s got that “in between” body shape. The 58 explorers and todays explorers have different body shapes. The originals, 76-89, 89-present for all 3 different Gibson explorer body shapes. You can tell a 76-89 explorer by the way the left side shoulder of the body is shaped. And by the funky looking pickguard. 58 guards are big and squared off above the pots, 76-89’s are similar but rounded off and slimmer, and modern guards are pointy and slim. The mystery explorer you had was made between 76 and 89 and was just painted with 2 different kinds of black paint.

    Don’t forgot the 1984 Epiphone Explorer REISSUE’s they did!! Basically the James Hetfield edition. No pick guards! The ebony one is SO MEAN looking. I gotta say, I think the pick guard ruins them. I think they came out in 2011 or 2012. So much fun to play!!

    The coolest explorer I've seen in a long time is the Mod Collection Explorer Custom Black/Gold with Lyre Vibrola added. He kinda gave it a once over in the video, but you never really see those style tailpieces with the Walrus Tooth vibrato arm on explorers and it looks really cool!

    Have a Thunderbird Bass I bought new in the 90s .
    Would Love to have a SG Bass/ Or Epi.
    I love the different shapes of these , the double cut away LP BASS , LP Bass.
    I broke my Left hand , my left fist is changed , the bone going up to the knuckle on the pinky , narrow neck works best for my left hand ,
    And the Gibson necks work great for me

    I'd love to see you review an 84 reissue Explorer. I think they came out in 07 or 08. They were blatantly obviously a James Hetfield signature guitar without actually being a signature guitar. I know it would be a turnoff for you though since they came with EMG's.

    You should try a Futura. As wonky as they look they look much better when holding it in playing position, still the explorer shape is better. I have a Futura from the first epiphone prophecy line, just to look at it on the stand I hate it, but when held in the mirror it looks much better.

    I recently sold my X-plorer pro trans black on Reverb. Took a $600 loss on it. Was an amazing specimen too, highly figured. I loved looking at it, but in the end the switch location made it unfavorable to play (I flick mid-solo). Now I'm watching for those 2011 '84 reissues with floyd rose (and switch by the knobs). More my style.

    The X-Plorer came in Studio and Pro series, made from 2003 till 2008 and they hardly show up on Reverb. The Pro has regular humbuckers, binding and showing some wood grain.
    I have a sparkly red Studio, which has no binding, no pickguard and no wood showing (basswood) and minihumbuckers. Oh yeah, and the three knobs are lined up downwards.

    I had one of those CME explorers from the 80's mine was sunburst with a flamed maple top it was an amazing guitar, sadly I was too young to know what I had. I also had an 80s gibson explorer that was silver and had a smaller body then a regular explorer it had the split diamond inlays and a kahler bridge ebony fingerboard. I don't know what model that was. I remeber I traded a used lonestar strat for it to a blind guy. I sold it cause the guy was a smoker and its case (cali girl) smelt so bad.

    Fascinating that suddenly the Futura is available for sale from Gibson and Epiphone. That design didn't become as a production model originally 64 years ago. Neither did the Moderne. One instance I'm conscious of in which the forked headstock was revived for a signature model was in the context of the Michael Schenker V.
