Hello Mica,
And hello Club!
Would love to know any history on the newest addition...An 84 Exploiter!
Pictures to follow.
Thanks
Ed

Zebrawood?  With a cracked pickup ear?

Hey!

No, maple top, clean, in great shape, plays well has a scratchy pot, and missing some backplate screws, and a couple of inset screws on hat knobs...All easy fixes.
Sorry haven't sent a picture. 
Haven't had a chance to clean it up to my obsessive ways, but hopefully after this weekend.

Thanks Ed.
I had an Exploiter that was sold.  I always get curious when discussions here mention them.
Enjoy your new toy!

Hope to have some time with it next week, been crazed for the last month;~)
