Dave... congrats. between the Explorer and the Firebird, you can cop most of the licks Allen Collins ever played. I'm going to need a boatload of practice to get there. Don't know if I've got enough time left in life to get to this level, check out the live solo. I always thought it was multiple guitars on this but it's all Allen Collins.

exactly. check out the Old Grey Whistle Test performance. just Gary and Allen and Allen plays the whole solo alone. The guy had "the right stuff"... I think his was one fo the saddest stories to come out of the Skynyrd legacy.

One of the few guitars I wished I had back. I got one in Cheyenne, WY in '77. Some guy had special ordered one of the '76's and it took too long to come in so he bought another guitar. It was sitting there for a while so I got a good deal and got rid of an awful 3 bolt Stratocaster. Unfortunately after I started a band with a girl who's last lead guitar player played an Explorer I thought I should get rid of it. It was a great guitar. Nice big neck and great feel for playing sitting down. Good luck! I have loved her black bound explorer from afar for a LONG time-was it a Hamer?idk ,but it looked great.My dream Explorer is oxblood bound in off white/antique/aged white with zebra HB's.And if it sounds ok,that's cool too! Edit-yes the internet tells me it was a Hamer,and she had a white one with black binding too.
Enjoy the new axe Dave!
