Gibson 84 Explorer Reissue Electric Guitar, Anitque White The full-on Gibson Explorer from the mid-80s is back! The body of the Gibson 84 Explorer Reissue Electric Guitar is solid mahogany for a fat and punchy sound, while the dual blazing-hot EMG pickups sizzle and snarl with aggressive authority. The Explorer's radical design not only looks sharp, but it also offers excellent playing balance. Other features include a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with dot inlay, Nashville bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and Grover machine heads. Made in the USA. Gibson is producing a limited run of only 400 of these Explorer electric guitars.

One word describes the CD Down The Road from Stephen Stills… AWESOME!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

Is it possible to play classical guitar without nails? I guess so as I often do it myself. Many guitarists today and in the past have also done the same. Let me tell you the advantages of no nails playing and give you some tips!

Sharon Isbin in her Classical Guitar Answer Book wrote…

“Classical guitarists can play without nails, but they should be aware that in doing so they are sacrificing certain possibilities of tone color and projection - all of which affect interpretation and musical presentation.”
