    I'm slightly stubborn, meaning that while I could own an Epi. Explorer right now, I would save up for "the real thing", you know what I mean? I'm not really in the market for a new guitar right now anyway. I've got other things I'd much rather spend my money on. Although I'm always on the lookout for a good deal...

    That cash is hard earned, though...lol

    Not trying to make ya feel a bit poor. Hey, you've got the Epi. Les Paul....a beautiful one, I might add.
  4. I picked up my Epi Explorer plus a explorer rock bag for £260
    Its the best money ive ever spent EVER
    before that i had a really amitation goth guitar (good to learn on but completely embarrassing to look at) - having a guitar i actually like has made me play so much more, and ive improved alot over the past few months, so its defo worth the money!
    A BOSS DD3 has also been bought this summer

    lol, seriously, it's not of the greatest concern (for either of us, I suspect) - I thought it might have been an LP, but we established that it was in fact a Maranello. What would be of more interest would be to know a bit more about Maranello, just 'cause I'm a bit bored lol - do they copy traditional designs but change them so they look slightly different? Or would it be fairer to say that they're as much a genuine company with original designs as are Gibson, Fender, Gretsch etc.??
