flying v and explorer traditional pro

The V looks a bit strange I think.. but the explorer is cool!

I like 'em both.  The binding and zebra pickups give them a Hamer look.

Only available from Guitar Center, though?  :(

If they come in an ebony finish, I think they would look pretty nice.

i find the knob placement on the V a bit unbalanced, and think a black tulip truss rod cover would have looked nicer.

Speaking of oddly placed knobs....

They don't seem to have been able to make up their minds on this one  :lol:  :

Ha ;)

First one is awful, don't mind the second though. I guess the V is a tricky shape to get the knobs in a good place.

The Explorer looks good. Still would be prefer natural mahogany or korina.

When in today looking for leads/21st present, I'm sure I saw one of the explorers in Guitar Guitar.
