zorrow Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Can someone here put the features of the Blitz and the Explorer on a side-to-side comparison? Also, are there any Blitzes with no tremolo system? -- BTW, some Blitz porn will be very welcome!

zorrow Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Cool stuff! Thanks! I'll read it carefully...
Punkavenger Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I love my 82 blitz ..."D" shaped mahogany neck with one piece mahogany body ... best neck shape I've ever played and the fretwork is incredibleSD SH-5 bridge pickup (that I added) sounds incredible ... none with more growlcame originally with non trem sustain block and was then kahlerized ... currently in the the process of being returned to stockexplorer body shape is just fantastic to play ... either sitting or standingAFAIK the main difference between the Blitz and Standard is the neck joint and headstock.edited to addAdd I bought it for exactly $350! BEFORE I was aware of the long running HFC joke
Imiss85 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 My first good guitar was a Blitz way back in 1985. I absolutely adore the blitz. My back, on the other hand, despises the blitz. My back overruled my heart on this one. Go ahead, call me a wuss.
cmatthes Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Wuss!Actually, there are a few Blitz guitars out there without trems. I can think of a couple Sustain-blocked ones and the elusive double-bound, tangerine metalflake one that still hasn't surfaced in the close to 20 years since it was last hanging on the wall of my (then) local Hamer pusher.
