Haven't posted for a while but... NGD pre-lawsuit Explorer
Long story short, I've been searching one of these for a while now... and then I found one :) Needed 'some' TLC but cleaned up pretty well IMO.
The exact model is EXP-300 and the color is actually Midnight Purple (metallic flake-ish) but looks black in low lighting. Kinda rare color I guess, or rarely for sale to be precise. Some other features are mahogany body and neck which is set-neck construction (long tenon).
Guitar's currently sporting WCR Icebuckers which I got temporarily out from my LP Studio. Gonna throw some upgrades later on (electronics, OFR/Schaller/Gotoh) but it's VERY decent as is. Plays very nice, big sustain, frets are still in good shape and sounds huge!
These old LTDs are pretty spectaccularr and really fights in bigger league than the price tag's been. Awesum-o.
Anyhoo, here's she with my other Explorer:
Full fam pics maybe later...
edit:
a better demonstration of the finish... also found a bell trc from my 'random guitar parts' case :)
Nice. Those came out in 1999. Cool thing about the 300 was that it was set-neck. Came in Black, Grey Satin and Gunmetal Blue as well.
