well, there are two "old styles" of the esp explorer. the 1st old style looks like the old gibby shapes(blunt horns). The "EET FUK" explorer is the 1st old style. The 2nd old style has sharper horns like James' snake inlay and wolf to man explorers. His new "pap het" explorer is based on the 2nd old style shape.

STATUS UPDATE: Lacquer is STILL CURING (the weather has made for very slow curing times the last month or so) but we expect that polishing can get underway by Monday at latest.

So probably completing can start by the end of next week!

There are still some ongoing problems with the Moscow EMG distributor - shamray told me today they have delayed clearing the incoming EMG shipment again (we have huge backlog of stuff waiting for us, if they would ever get it into their inventory)

Your little 25K pullpot is proving very elusive, and i'm going to check some places myself when im downtown tommorrow. If by some miracle i can find one, then your guitar could ship MONDAY... because thats ALL we are waiting on!
