New guitar time for The Doctor?
I need some opinions here. I'm possibly getting a new guitar soon, and I'm pretty set on an Explorer style body. I've always wanted one and decided it's time to get my hands on one. How many decent ones are there out there?
Does anyone know anything about the quality/playability of a Hamer (not a Slammer model though)?

Can they compete with a Dean Z? An Epiphone Korina Explorer?
I've even seen a few Gibson Faded Explorers on eBay, has anyone tried one of these?
And what about the ESP EX models?
My price range is 400 - 700. Middle of the road-ish type stuff. If I had the cash at hand to throw 1,200 dollars at a real-deal Gibson Explorer I would. Unfortunately I don't...

I've been watching eBay and a guy has tried to sell the same faded Gibson Explorer twice now with no luck. Maybe in a week or 2 he'll drop the price, repost it, and I'll be able to scoop it up.
Barring that, so far it's between the 79 Series Dean Z and the Epiphone Korina Explorer unless someone gives me a good reason to look at a different maker... like Hamer. I'm curious about them but haven't been able to try one out for myself yet.

Ive got the ESP Explorer and i would recommend it but you said you hate EMGs which this has. Other than that its a solid guitar, not heavy, and plays fantastic.

Its the active pick ups. ive also got a Viper with the passive EMGs and it still rips. Ive had the Viper for 5 years now and it still shreds. i learn new songs on the viper since im so used to it, and it transfers over great to the EX
