Thanks Gang.
YEs Waz Epiphones are by volume my favorite. And my "prized favorite" is the greyburst 2008 Epiphone LEs Paul Custom

Epi 57's and changed all the metals to black sweetest most versatile chunk of lead I own.

But I have owned all makes and brands over the years.
The Explorer was a "kit" as well, that a friend of mine started (set the neck and varnished it) then never finished, it sat for 2 years untouched....some of the parts got lost.....he sent it to me to complete and it has been here ever since.

This looks all "old school classic rock" but its a SCREAMER with Dimarzzio Super Distortion in the Bridge the neck pup is a "dummy" just filling the hole

FYI for those looking for a cheap good guitar.......this DAVISON model SG copy has a Norlin era pickup location (neck pup is right up against the neck) plays and feels better than any Gibson Sg I have ever touched, has Gibson Deluxe Tuners and Gibson 57's another sweet ride for not a lot of $....note the SWAMPNECKISTAN patented security system that resides in the room....
