probably in the same ballpark, but a little brighter, and ALOT LIGHTER!! supprisingly, they are balanced pretty nice.

Explorer lighter than a Les Paul?
I dunno about that. I've played both and they are they're both heavy. The Explorer also tends to have a darker sound due to the lack of a maple top. The neck is similar to the fatter LP's and SG's.
Yes, it does feel very comfortable due to the body shape despite it's weight. I could play mine all night without getting a sore shoulder.
Come to think of it, I miss mine. Should never have gotten rid of it but at the time I couldn't afford the payments.

The newer 90's - 2000's are light -- the original up to mid 80's weigh a ton -- very dark, rich tone, but can get very bright with treble up 10 - neck like a baseball bat -- GREAT guitar!! You'll love it, takes a while to get adjusted to the size of the rear bout -- be careful early on not to back into things with it -- also strap locks are a MUST -- the guitar WILL fall off the starp! Good luck and enjoy! drr.

I had an actual 1976 Explorer for 23 years. It was my main guitar, I loved it. It is much lighter than a LP.

wow man time laps, forgot all about this forum and this post. thanks very much for the replys you guys. But any way i think i remember pricing out the explorer a bit back and was 3 grand canadian i think. the post i made above back then i was playing 2 epiphone lp's. and since i liked those guitars i got the gibson lp studio for 2 grand and a bit. even though that was 2 years ago the studio lp is great and love it. if i had the money id go for the explorer and bit more money id go for the costom lp, either 1 in black....... thanks again
