Hey mate , Im about to get this exact guitar !! If I want to get the same sound as Metallica (Like you have done) ...What Amp and Pedal would I need ?
hey bro, how do you like this guitar? is it easy to solo on when standing? and is the neck heavy? please respond, becuz i might get this soon. and all ur vids are great.
@crapguy21 Yes, because the Gothic model comes with a Mahogany body instead of a korina body. The Korina model also has dot inlays on the fingerboard, whereas the gothic has none. The pickups on the Korina are not as hot as the Gothic ones.
nice cover i think im in love with the sound ya had there lol. were these the stock pickups that came in the guitar?? im thinking about getting a 58 goth explorer not sure about the stock pickups though.
I noticed that you were bummed about not being able to play harmonies (because it's only you playing). Have you tried the triplet function on your processor? Had one on my ME-30. It might sound alright if you play one octave lower.
how much are you playing giutar? Awesome cover.. I am about 2 years but i must learn muuuch to be that great guitarist like you :) Good luck, and reply me.
excelente cover amigo, bonita epiphone explorer yo tengo una epiphone korina flyng v y al igual que tu tambien deseo ponerle un par de emg o seymour duncan blackout. saludos desde chile
hoooly shit, you are the heavy metal man! i love that guitar, i'm uruguayan and i see if i can buy this guitar but here i do not have a lot of variety unfortunately :( , by the way nice cover! \m/
@vicsnake it makes you that much better at guitar as well, at least that's my theory because you arent relying on some dots to tell you you're playing something right. You're going by the sound... my seven string is the same way, so im pretty stoked to be getting one of these guitars!! all it took was saving, like you said... except i had to save to pay off my parents for school and my car so $1382, bought my seven string $777.98, and now the goth-splorer that i found on ebay fo $348.70!!
@vicsnake then im selling my fender competition mustang so i can have more money towards upgrading the goth-splorer. new pickups, pick guard, paint job, strings, etc. sorry about all the replies n shi, im just super stoked to finally be getting this BEAST!! ive been wanting one since like 07 and now i finally have the money, great playing!!
@matt1don because a good explorer costs almost double what id be paying anyway. painting it would only cost like 30 bucks, pickups were only 210, not gonna get a new pickguard which even then would only cost 10-20 bucks... soooo basically with all of my upgrades it's only going to cost like 600-650 bucks and a gibson is around 1400, so tell me, why i would want to spend double the money? i know i like EMGs so i know ill love how it sounds, thered be no need for a stupid gibson. i dont like em
Holy crap you have the whole metallica setup! An explorer and a dual Rectifier! Hmm if you have a job what do you do? i need that setup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its true, its heavy but only the body, infact there is a lot of difference of weight breween the body and the neck (that is lighter).
i think its not hard to play as a guitar!
i mean, its always an explorer that means a "strange" shape and a little of bad balance, and its not confortable as a fender stratocaster....but if you are going to play some fuckin rocknroll and you don't care about all these little details...go for it!
The Gothic series tend to need a bit of a file and graphite on the nut now and again. This then helps the strings not get stuck to the nut :) - hope that helps
@dsckakashi The guitar stays in tune almost everytime but I always have problems getting the G string in proper tune. It has stock pick-ups on the video but I swapped 'em for some emg 85-81.
is this an Epiphone Explorer 1958 Gothic Pitch Black ? :D

@crapguy21 They both use similar pickups, but this is Mahogony and the other is Korina so you would get different tones.
