So I had MJT Guitars assemble and finish an X type kit for me.

It's ready to ship, and this happens. See pics. That's a Gibson Protector Explorer case.

MJT says they can ship the case and guitar separately, but I'm not sure how the guitar would

be packaged. I'm a little paranoid about that, as you can imagine. I have asked them if they

can modify the case. I reached out to Precision and they said they 'don't have any information

regarding cases that fit their kits".

Any ideas are welcome. For the record, MJT is near St. Louis and I live in Charlotte, NC. Roughly a

15 hour drive one way.

Thanks!

Picked this up with original hard case for $700. Neck dive is BAD and it’s pretty uncomfortable to play sitting down but it looks and sounds badass at least

A local shop has this for sale for $2,999. Someone put a Floyd rose in there at one time. It’s a 1976 Explorer, one of the limited edition ones with the thicker neck. Would you guys go for this? I would be trading for it, not buying outright, just wondering about this value wise. I’m not sure if I could find someone local to take on the task of blocking this and making it convincing looking. I wouldn’t want to totally refinish it since I like the natural colored Explorers the most

EDIT: thanks guys I’ll regretfully pass on this one!

Just some grails I can’t stop staring at. Black one is for sale on reverb. I am just keeping the white one.

My LTD EX-401 — one of my weapons for the heavy stuff, always tuned to Drop C.

I’ve had this guitar for years, and it’s still one of my favorites. Comfortable, aggressive, reliable, and that Explorer shape never gets old.

This one has seen a lot of riffs. 🤘
