Bmth Builder Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hey I'm planning a build and I need to know the biggest dimensions of an explorer so I can get a big enough (spalted maple) top for it. Basically I'm looking for the X (width) & Y (length) of a standard explorer body. I'm not too sure on whether it has ever changed shape, but I'm just looking for the classic Gibson explorer/ ESP law suit model. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) I have a a jackson shaped explorer drawing from guitar build and it is at least 20" x 15" You will prob have to get a two piece so it could be cut from a smaller piece. Unless you are building an exact copy as long as the dimensions are close it won't really matter Edited September 3, 2008 by jaycee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 17.5" wide by 24" long is what size you would need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 17.5" wide by 24" long is what size you would need. Thats 4" longer than the Jackson. ..............................Just stating the obvious for no apparent reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae3 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 That's 10.16cm longer, no I'm sorry, that was one post too far. Spalted maple looks awesome on explorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
