Wonder if the Ken Lawrence Hetfield explorer is worth a shit... you get what you pay but in this case I doubt that's even true.

It is a 100% fake guitar seller from China if I am not mistaken. Supposedly they duplicate every measurement of the guitar they are copying to try and make it feel just like the real thing. Personally, I would stay so far away from this company as to be invisible. Being over-seas, I doubt the return policy would be enforceable if you were not happy.

Over years many buyers consulted the Ken Lawrence explorer guitar with us, maybe because it's truly hard to find, and the period to customize one is too long or possibly the price is too large. Anyway, we then commenced to study and copy this instrument. We even bought a utilized Ken Larence explorer at a high price, so we've got all precise specs and measurements of this unique guitar! The largest problem to replicate this instrument lies at some specific woods which we make contact with numerous wood providers and finally found some hard woods of tropical rain forest. Our replicated Ken Lawrence Explorer was made of rosewood fretboard, mahogany neck and body. Please refer to the picture below, we know that the original Ken Lawrence is featured ebony fretboard. But now our replicated Ken Lawrence featured rosewood fretboard.Honestly, our ebony fretboard is darker than the original. We found that on the visual design side, the rosewood fretboard is much closer to the original guitar.However, you have the freedom to choose which kind of wood you think will suit your taste better. With our previous production and sale experience, lots of our customers prefer to rosewood fretboard, which definitely gives them a warmer tone and incredible sustain. Of course, ebony fretboard is also populared by lots of people. All in all, It is only a matter of taste. If you would like the original ebony fretboard, we can also meet your need. ) We bought professional drawings and meticulously studied this electric guitar, thus we can grasp every details of processing technique. Besides, they are absolutely 100% hand-mades, strictly adhere to the original. EMG is typically used, EMG-81 in bridge and EMG-60 in neck. However we offer far more selections on pickups selection, except the actual EMG pick-ups which we also bought for your requirements, Wilkinson pick-ups is exactly what we strongly recommended because of its high quality and inexpensive price. It can save you a lot funds!! The Wilkinson pickups with the same specifications as EMG pickups are considerably less expensive than the latter!!

Jesus f'ing Christ... I can't see anyone actually buying one of these things, it has got to be total crap.

These are the clowns that make those fake Gibsons and Jacksons etc. with a different website for signature type fakes. stay as afar away as you can. I was reading the stuff they posted about the 5150 Kramer and eddie etc. and makes me wonder where they get this stuff. If their QC is anything like their fact finding the it's shit.
