What gear do you use?

Hey Jake,

I thought you only had one KL Explorer why is it now two, what's the story behind this?

(nice shirt btw )

I'm interested in hearing that story as well...

You had the 2nd type (with the sun inlays), but it seems you've got yourselves a 1st type (with the hunting scene inlays) as well.

(I'm so jealous )

Well, the story isn't really all that interesting to be honest. I have a large number of saved searches on ebay and one of them was for Ken Lawrence, and this one was listed at $4000 (which is a great deal). I made arrangments and ended up buying it for $4800. Overall a $1700 savings from what it would have been to had it custom built, plus no waiting time and the guitar was in great shape = instant win!

I was hoping people would give feedback on the guitar cases because a really good friend of mine painted them for me, he's a damn good artist.

The Truckster and Grynch cases were painted by your friend as well? They look amazing, I thought that these were original ESP-cases

Yeah it's pretty amazing isn't it? I basically said I wanted him to do something to make it look like the guitar. I have 6 guitars now, and it's pretty lame to have 6 cases setting around, so I figured by giving them a little bit of personality it would be much cooler, plus I can easily identify which is which.

the cases are cool as hell!! and a friggin great idea
now I just need a friend that is a good artist LOL
