I have an early January of 83 Explorer named Liz. The name is in the bridge pickup cavity, not the neck. It also has a two piece body.
I just want to verify this name. Is it Liz or Elizabeth? I just want to make sure I keep the names correct. I guess yours would be Liz Taylor. Once we get a bunch of names I am going to make a list of the correlating Sex Symbols and post them to see if everyone thinks they are correct. Most the names are pretty straight forward, but a couple could relate to different women.
Also, you are lucky to have one of the 2 piece bodies. Only the first few guitars got them and they are pretty rare. There were also two different types of Korina on these. I don't have the time right now, but I will explain that at a later date. Do you have any pictures of your guitar? Do you have any plans on selling it in the near future?
Hey Vibroman. Don't know how I missed your earlier note. Most likely confusion from trying to keep up with so many threads. I will send you a direct message when I get a chance. Hey AXE752. Is your Heritage White, Black or Natural? Does it have a two or three piece body? Have you looked for a name yet? Do you have any plans on selling it?
Hey Vibroman. I tried to send you a direct e-mail, but it said you do not accept them. Is there any other way I can get a hold of you?
I bet you bought that at "Sound Vibrations" on Staples Ave. in the Six Points area of Corpus. Originally that was a store named "The Horn Shop" and when they moved in `80 to the south side of Corpus , Robert DeGraff moved into it. He had a smaller shop across the bay in Portland originally.I bought one of the Heritage series Explorers in 1984 in Corpus Christi, TX. I still have all paperwork that came with it and the receipt from the store. It's a very cool guitar. If I remember right (my memory is not always the best at times) serial # is "1 025." One piece of trivia that I have never been able to prove: I was told by the store manager--who kept the first Heritage Explorer he received (he got 2 for his store along with at least one V and one Moderne that I saw)--that the first few (maybe 8 or so) were one-piece neck. He told me his was one of these first ones, but I never laid eyes on it.:jim
As a side note: I think the pickups are also the "Shaw PAF's" for what that is worth. I will have to check to see if there is a name in either cavity. I never noticed. Great sounding guitar.

I remember seeing the Explorers and Modern's in his store.
