Re: 80s Explorers...

I know it's not 80's, But I had a 79' Gibson Explorer a few years ago.




(My Steve Clark era, Therefore, EXTRA LOW guitar strap)

Not exactly.. But it was heavier than the 81' Gibson Black Beauty I got after it. And that BB was easily 11-14 LBS. EASILY.

I do remember it was three pieces. The neck had two stripes of basically like a binding down the back of the neck. The body was three pieces, But it was bottom, middle, top. Making the top of the guitar look like a one piece top.

Hard ebony fingerboard.

Yup. That guitar was a back breaker, Seriously, I had shoulder problems for a good 1-2 years after that guitar.
