Really looking forward to it!
Trading my Strat MiM + cash for it...
Fingers crossed!

Lovely Gtar mate, I only have an Epi copy, which is nice, but I'd prefer a swap

Thanks! I'm playing it now
.
At the seller place we plugged it into old (and tuned) Marshall head and Bogner cabinet, with a bit of drive the guitar just frikkin' screams harmonics on solos...
Awesome axe
.
The only thing I need to get used to is a body which is noticeably smaller than Strats body... but I dig everything else instantly - hardtail, looks, plugin jack... especially neck which is wider and thicker than Strats "C" shape but it seems to suit my fairly bigger hand really good.

Only thing that used to throw me off from Fender v Gibson styled guitars, was the front stud for the strap. Fenders have it on the front horn, gibbies are lower on the neck/body. And SGs LPs etc seem neck heavy because of that ( sometimes they are though ), I just used to adjust my guitar strap a tad up, then hold the neck higher and it was all good.
I think, I'm going to have to save up to get a real guitar soon, a lifetime of copies and borrowed real guitars are stopping me from being Hendrix

I can get a wig and play left handed, all I really need is a real guitar and some skills

Felt like sharing:
Yes, it's a genuine copy from Czech Rep. and cheap. But I like it
I've been toying with the idea of getting a real custom Explorer, but before committing - I wanted to get something cheap to ensure I truly like the Explorer.
Another possibility would have been an Epi Exp, but since I already have one Epi LP and I haven't been 100% impressed with their quality (specially with the low end stuff) ...
