Ta in advance.

My mate's dad has an Explorer Pro and I'm pretty sure that has a bound neck...

Only special editions, anniversary models and the like.

A quick Google reveals this to be true.

Yup, Explorer pro & 50th anniversary, think theres another too....... Explorer 2 iirc?

Cheers all.

The Explorer pro looks a decent bet. Are the bodies smaller than the standard Explorers?

Yup, 7/8's - very nice little guitars. There were two variants at different years, a maple topped one with block inlays and a mahogany one with dots.....

Yes, and they are lovely. I even placed an order for one with Gibson 3 months (3 frickin months!) before they officially stopped making them. Gibson just cancelled my order.
