JAE loved gold stuff.  Had Fender Custom Shop make him a Jazz, a P and a Strat all in Blonde ash w/gold hardware.  Used Thomastik Infield gold plated strings when he stopped playing Rotosounds.  Probably plays bass for Elvis now ;D

Another Peter Cook build...

The official description (JAE) is "puke green" iirc
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I thought they were Maximas?

Maxima is (was) German, and TIs are Austrian. JAE played the former but given that it really is - or should be  :o - one country, the slight geographical inaccuracy is forgiven. Just goes to show that artificial borders fail to gain acceptance with the larger public.  8)



Switzerland is nice too. They speak Deutsch there, ja.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Fenderbirds are already an acquired taste as regards visuals, but this Explender is the strongest argument against cross-breeding I've seen for a while!  ;)
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Sorry, I must have been high.

Uwe, you're scaring me with your logic.

Gold hardware  :o

The orange one has gold hardware too. In his book it says he gave a white one to Townsend.



I happen to love the Explorerbird, mostly due to a fascination that started the first time I saw the Kids are Alright. Mystified me for decades until the internet came along.  ;D I'd build one except for the fact that most people would just think it was a Hondo from the 80s.  :rolleyes:
