[edit] X-Plorer

The Gibson X-plorer is the new, proper name... that info should be changed.

WHOEVER changed it back, look at the official Gibson page. They call it the X-plorer!

[edit] Name

I don't approve of the fact that the main page continues to call it the "Explorer" and that the X-plorer page redirects here. The new name should be acknowledged as the proper one. At the very least it should be referred to as the "X-plorer" throughout the article.24.86.144.101 09:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)jvp1@sfu.ca

The article name is fine as it reflects the historical(and still official) name of the model. It mentions that it is marketed as X-plorer(a stupid name BTW) and that it is also marketed as Explorer Pro. It has never been officially re-badged by Gibson. Gibson, for some reason, has simply decided to market to dimwits by using the "X" brand as part of their X-Factor series. The article is fine the way it is. 156.34.142.110 12:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
