Thank you for replying & for describing your great looking Explorers--they all look GREAT!! I think the Gibson Explorer is the coolest looking guitar on the planet & fun to play as well! Here`s a video of me playing my original `76--it is a fantastic guitar [although it`s tone has become a little too 'bassy' thru the years]. It has big neck & big tones too! Please excuse the playing--however I am playing thru an original 50w JCM 800 single channel '2204'--great guitar & great amp too!

thx, K_L
Playability is close and fantastic. I mean, mahogany neck, palisander fretboard and same fret size, well, what can u expect? :laugh2: The ´17 and ´19 neck have a little more wood compared to he 2000 LE, but the LE neck is in no way thin.....for my taste.
Dont want to hijack maplebaby´s thread about his 2019. So, about the 2019: the BB 2/3 sound nice, the guitar growls like it should. Great sustain. I changed the mounting rings for the higher historic version, just b/c i like it when top of the pickups and rings are nearly at a hight. Also installed the Faber inserts + Faber ABR/STP. oh, and historic knobs + pointers :hmm
The 2017 has more power, b/c of the higher output i guess. The 2000 has a little more growl than the others and from what i can see, it has a one piece body :dude:
The amp is indeed the JCM800 studio version. Highly recommended. Love this amp :salude
