Has anyone ever seen a Gibson like this? Is this a custom? How many where made? That sort of thing. Check out the pictures at this link. Mathyus Homepage
I think the body looks pretty neat. But those heart-shaped pickups have got to go! And is the neck pickup screwed into the fretboard? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
I've got one of those setting in a stand about 3 feet from me right now.
It's interesting looking at those pictures. The plating on the piece that surrounds the bridge pickup is worn off in exactly the same place it is on mine. I was wanting to replace that piece but can't find one. That is just about the only noticeable flaw in mine.
I would upload a couple pictures of mine if I knew how, I think it is a little bit better looking than the one here.
BTW, what is the term for the piece that surrounds the pickup?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yup...that's the Explorer model that matches that series. The E2 and the V2 later changed to bound flametop models in 1981/2...and discontinued early '83 (in '81 or 2...there was also a Firebird model brought in with a bound body and flame top called the Firebird II)...they were all out together with the "RD" series.
