I have a 76 explorer with the really big neck, but it has a regular sticker/serial # without the limited edition. Did Gibson send out any LE's with regular stickers?
It would be interesting to compare serial numbers of the LE and non LE '76s to see if there is any logic to these. My LE is 0022XX22 if I recall correctly. Big neck.
00 232917 is a LE
Here's a non LE with 0024XXXX:

I don't know if the LE moniker was limited to natural finish Explorers - so chime in guys.
Which color, Luke?
Sorry Luke, your serial # seems to have one digit too many - what is the correct no (you can X out the last number).
J45's former '76 LE is 00235053 or 58, natural finish, big neck
You'd kinda have to measure to see exactly how big. I also had a non-LE '76 in black that had a really big neck, as big as some of the biggest '58 Historic fat necks but not nearly as big as the LE. It was just too big.
Here's a couple of pics of the "coffee table" as my band mates call it.
