Re: Only 400 made?

The was one of last year's Guitars of the week (GOTW) program. Yes, it was a limited production of 400. They had made Explorer Pros previous to that however - around 2004-2005. The earlier Explorer Pros had rectangular inlays, flamed maple tops.

Here's mine. It's a 2004:

Re: Only 400 made?

so in your opinion, would 800$cdn for that guitar be a steal?! or a good deal.

Yeah, if it's really clean that sounds like a great price!

Re: Only 400 made?

Beautiful guitar, hopefully it's real. I saw that one up there for a while, I live in Montreal too so I had checked it out online, but I had my doubts.
