Recommend you try a Gibson Les Paul Custom or a PRS. For that much cash, and given your current stock of guitars, you should include on of the above guitars into your collection. You may surprise yourself with the tonal flexibility that a Paul, or PRS can give you. First time I played a Gibson...

Well Im glad to hear that the issue wasnt with construction or materials. I plan on having the guitar refinished and have an ebony fretboard installed (instead of rosewood) along with some..... wood reconstruction. hehe. Thanks for the help guys and Ill let ya know how it goes.

Ok, here's the deal. I want a Gibson Explorer. I want to customize it, but I need a solid foundation for that customization. When did Gibson's quality start becoming shaky? What exactly is being affect by the quality control problems? I have a chance to get either a 1998 Gibson Explorer, or a...
