@@peaner083 I bought my purple Extura used for $100 off new price, because it’s sold out everywhere but can be ordered new. Mine came in very good, almost mint condition: locking tuners are tight, fretboard smooth & Fishman pickups sound clean enough to make computer chips. Durable, tight, well constructed, binding tight. Neck is super easy accessible, that back cutout makes it super easy to get to that 24th fret. Cool splitting and vintage sound electronics work fine. It was already set up to play because it was used. This is my first Explorer bodied guitar, but it might be on the lighter, less heavy side of Explorer shapes, which can easily go past 20 lbs. But it is a metal shredder and can deliver the heavy, tight ass riffs, fo sho. This was the most cost effective way for me to check all the boxes. Even if you wanted just the Fishman pickups on their own for another guitar, they’d cost at least $300, then you’d need to re-wire and re-install for at least $200 because Fishman pickups aren’t plug and play and not easily installable into every guitar.

Nothing is scratch-proof. You'll just have to be delicate, or not care. Putting a pickguard on will kill the mojo. It's also not standard, so you'd have to have a custom one made that accommodates the new shape, closer pickups, 24 frets, and sans the three-way switch. Just play it and enjoy it.
@coatesycobra3 жыл бұрын
You can find a fabrication shop somewhere close most likely that can make you a clear plexiglass pick guard. May cost you $100 or more but you better make sure they measure everything properly. I personally would not put a single screw hole in that top. Let the scratches come... it just makes the guitar more “yours.” However, if pick scratches bum you out, you can buy some Maguire’s Scratch-X in the auto section of your local Walmart and buff out any light scratches easily. I’ve used that stuff on my 58 reissue Les Paul with no fear. It is a great product and works like magic

The scale length is the standard 24.75 inches, which will make the frets a bit closer together than a Jackson. The number of frets doesn't matter. A 24.75 inch guitar will have the same fret spacing whether it has 22 or 24 frets, since it's the distance from the nut to the bridge saddle.
