Epiphone Les Paul custom vs. Epiphone 1958 Explorer

drkurv · 11-11-2008, 06:36 AM

I´am thinking of swaping my Les Paul custom for a 1958 Explorer, i´am in a little doubt if I should. What do you guys think of Epi 1958 Explorers ?
Still haven´t tried it out, but will soon.

That'll be a fairly personal decision - you'll have to decide when you've played it!

Quality and value should be similar I'd think...

I had an Epi Explorer for a few years. When i got my Custom, I realized that i didn't really like the neck that much and I dealt it away.

Nice guitar, though. Like Dice said, you'll have to decide by actually playing the Explorer.
