It’s retarded. An actual whammy bar would be easier to use. Not to mention you could use a whammy pedal and not have to cut it up and stick it in the side of your guitar body.

RAZOR RAMOAN you don’t know much about guitar do you. Wammy bars can’t handle such low tubings like the ones he’s in plus they are a pain to tune. Not to mention that when you break a string it throws out the whole guitars tuning. They’re a pain to use. That peddle is 10x easier

This guitar looks and sounds awesome!

*WONDERFUL GUITAR AND DEMO!*

I like it.....apart from a boss pedal in the body. But the contours are a great idea.

that subtle "ah fuck"

I think everything you do on the guitar is pretty cool, luv the ffdp style.....before I rip my dirt bike at the track always ffdp before throttle time......

having a pitch shifter in place, instead of whammy bar is genius !!

Super smart idea with the pedal

My new fav guitarist.

Not a fan of FFDP but this guitar is sick, having a pedal built in is his personal preference and I love the idea, reminds me of Devo, they duct-taped pedals onto their guitars which ended up being bulky and could easily drop to the floor and break. What Jason Hook has done is very innovative, I want to find a way to do that to my Flying V

That pedal is inSANELY creative. Good fucking work, dude..

You could probably ask Gibson to put a Floyd in

@BobPapadopoulos

Why cut a big hole in your guitar for a tremolo that'll neatly cover said hole when you could instead hack one out of the edge of the body to put a pedal that poorly emulates having a tremolo? I mean, other than common sense, obviously...

Great guitar and seems like a top bloke. Will be checking out their stuff.

I’m not going to lie, that thing with the pitch shift pedal wired into the guitar is probably the smartest idea I’ve seen in my life. 0.o

I love playing guitar

"Ill grab that note and the whole band looks at me with... Anger"

Fuck Yeah Jason, you're a Legend.

What's the name of the Pedal. I can't find it and I've been searching for it

The pedal thing is pretty creative and neat. I wouldn't do it though

amazing mods 2 this guitar 👍👌

My guitar goes up to 11, most people's just go up to 10, mine goes to 11

I like the pedal in the body, sure it's unorthodox but it's very practical in a way, no hassle, just put a full size pedal in.

boss pedal put into the body......fucking genius

How did he wire the pedal into the guitar? Anyone know?

that's so cool

Creative I can say that😐

That one part reminds me of The Osmonds - Crazy horses ;)

I would have just had the custom shop set me up with a floyd bridge on the explorer body would have been much easier.

I love the “wiggles”

Nice customizations.

+Shotgun Zombie Well, this does have it's advantages. You always have it regardless of your rig at the moment, you can use the effect at any time (away from your pedals, in the crowd, lying down on the floor, etc), you can change the effect easily since it's right there and you don't have to crouch down to your pedal. I think it's a great idea. And if it fits his playing style/needs, then more power to him.

Some valid points, Still seems like a lot of work to me for a little payoff though. Personally, I like that with the pedal, I can actually still play while using it. I suppose a rig with both would be pretty awesome. I also think that the WH-1 is much more versatile, but that's just me.

Hey can you buy this guitar

They don't make whammy techs anymore or something?

We might be related my grandma's last name is Hook!!

I give him props for trying something original.

you can cut a big chunk out of your guitar and mount a Pedal in it with tape...or just use a whammy pedal..

The idea of the pedal is good but I wish he would have just took the electronics out of the pedal and made a killswitch type whammy bar because he still has to go and push it just like a regular whammy bar so it's kida redundant other then the fact it will stay in tune and keep tone but to each his own:)\m/

Jason's cool and so is the Explorer, but that pedal would drive my right elbow insane and unbalance the guitar. I think putting in a tremolo or just using the pedal on the floor is more practical. I'm afraid he may have done this just to "be different"? I do think Gibson should use the same access cut at the base of the neck and the beveled cuts in the upper portion of the body are awesome ideas (even though the beveled cut was first used in the 1979-1980 Explorer E2s). As for the black exposed wire conduit, it doesn't look so good. I would have just put the pickup selector under the volume/tone knobs in order to not have a pick guard. One major plus is that I haven't seen these guitars "yellow" as most white Gibsons do due to the Nitro finish (see every Lzzy Hale Explorer headstock after 1 year... ugly yellow while the body is still white!). Overall, its Jason's signature model and his choice. Everyone has their own opinion. I have two of these guitars and they kick ass.

I like how put that pedal in the guitar like it is muxh easier than to put a floyd in it XD

Just had a thought.... If you can do a pedal like that that... You should be able to do your wireless unit like that.... Just hollow out the back so it doesn't show in the front and wore it into your guitar 😐

Barnaby Wylde I know this is late but that’s gunny chevrons

I understand why he used the conduit originally, but when making you're own signature model it just looks cheap theres a million ideas better than even just drilling internally so there not visible. Personally I've tamed the the whammy bar beast it love them but I will admit tuning to a different key is a pain, his idea is pretty smart if done better, for example he is a semi famous guitarist if he went to boss theres no doubt they could put a unit in his guitar and just use a switch or something plus not effect his tone no where near as much as he has to be know. Or he could just be like everyone else and put it on the floor lol if he's worried about bending over and hurting his back to use the controls he surely could afford some oknobs.

I happen to own a Gibson Explorer WITH whammy bar...no top lock tho, so it gets out of tune real quick when you use it.

heresy to do this to an explorer

that must be very heavy.
