Yeah. These Explorers are way cool. I love Explorers, but these have to be my favorite. This one is just like Ryan Seacrest. It's been in the closet for 20 years.  It was played a bit and then put away. Has some buckle rash, some nicks and dings on the front and edges. With a good buffing and once over most of the stuff would come out. There is some gold missing on the tuneomatic. Pretty normal for 80's gold hardware. There are also 2 spots on the neck where the finish was worn through and restained. Not a big deal.  All these are cosmetic issues. This guitar is a beast. Plays like a dream. Big beefy tones. T-top pickup in the bridge dated to 1979. Neck pickup is dated 1980. I absolutely love the way it plays. I would go get a setup. But that's easy. Case has some nicks but works perfectly. This is a rare guitar. Make me an offer.
