that explorer looks great - I had one very similar to that - metallic blue, cream dimarzios (duncans?), rosewood, black headstock, brass v-trem. I got mine at a Veneman Music May-Day sale in '84 or '85 for $300 w/case - I don't remember what I sold it for but I suspect it wasn't near what I'd get for it today [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
the guitar sounded and played great until you tried to play on the top frets - damn that was nearly impossible with that big fuckin' bolt-on neck joint and the not-quite-deep-enough cutaway.
how's the upper fret access on that?
I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.
Both are very nice Monte. [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
Killer!!....I'm in lust (as always) with the Explorer. One day I'm gonna find me one! And hopefully WITHOUT a Kahler!...LOL! (Ducking from the flames of Kahler lovers on the board here ) [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Thanks guys. The explorer is nice to play since it has the pointy neck profile that I love. The upper frets can be a bit of a challenge but you can get there.
Yes...this the John jaco explorer that he spent 4 years to make perfect. I have the work order and the original case too.
The bullseye is a genuine body from back in the day. It was refinished by Dan.
I got it as a complete guitar...I am just working on getting the neck set up and stuff.
