If someone said Pete Townsend had played it you'd believe them!

Oh man, what a plethora of awesomeness :wtf:

I love the stinger you refinished that SG with.

So your Explorer is a 76-77 Reissue? Still got the tarbacks in there?

Yes, a 1976 Explorer. Tarbacks were goneburgers before I got it. It currently sports a set on T Tops from '66 w/ThroBak A5's. I have considered getting a set of tarbacks but that would be an investment that will have little return. The pick guard and pots are not original either.

Nice. I love Explorers. I see you've got tulips on their too - very '58 looking.

I've been looking for a white or black one for years. No luck.
