The Story

Elbow Cut Explorer Custom Made 2 Measure Orange Drop

This is the Explorer of our dreams that we begged the Custom Shop to make for us! It's a Made 2 Measure Explorer Custom decked out with a flame maple top finished in the Music Zoo-classic Orange Drop finish and given an Elbow Cut for a manageable body size and very comfortable weight. The back of the body and neck are finished in Aniline Cherry dye. For a clean and classy look, we went with gold hardware including gold screws on the Custom Bucker pickups and no pickup switch washer to let all of the flame top be displayed. We don't know if we'll ever see something like this Explorer again, so act fast!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
