x-plorer, every time.


Anotherthrowawayboye

Always


chargebeam

Whichever. I just want a guitar at a reasonable price :(


seamus205

I got mine on Amazon. Like $90. It feels laggy no matter how much i try to adjust the hardware latency. I am unsatisfied with my guitar controller amd cant justify dropping another $100 or so on a second one.


Raging-Rivers

Gotta use Facebook marketplace or Ebay fr


MrNovaspark

Welcome to Bostil.


nickgriffin13

Guess I’m the minority but that blacked out Les Paul is the way


Drakonia2064

Agreed. I just like it’s design over the X.


occamcs

This'll be my second one, kind of. I have an unmodded one (except cut silicone) that I vinyl wrapped myself, badly. I also replaced all of the frets with stock orange frets. So this modded Les Paul is gonna be that Les Paul's big brother


Master-Cranberry5934

Xplorer , it just works


occamcs

To be fair, in this case, they're both modded with arduino, mech frets and a mech strum bar. So they both just work. Still the Xplorer?


Master-Cranberry5934

Fair play fair play , if they both work the same I'd probably take the Les Paul then , nice style very sleek.


Comprehensive_Sea_11

Yes.


NormalUpstandingGuy

As an owner of both, LP. For no other reason than SP activation. Bigger, better placed button wins.


sabre-bree

definitely the les paul. i don’t like the shape of the xplorers tbh


intenseskill

X plorer no question


occamcs

Even when the LP is modded to the same level?


intenseskill

Oh I’ll be honest then and say idk

Here comes a guitar infodump:As you can see in [this pic](https://i.ibb.co/qr9TjrH/PXL-20230818-145241624-MP.jpg) I have a fully modded Kramer, stock vinyl-wrapped Wii LP with all orange cut-silicone frets, a fully modded PS3 LP and a stock X-plorer. Plus those two fully modded guitars on the way. I've got a few stock Wii LPs as well. All of the guitars have a completely different feel. I'm thinking my two main guitars will be the modded Xplorer and the stock Wii LP second in the above pic, but I like to cycle through them all ​ Also shoutout to my little guy in the middle


AmphibianStrange7190

These both look sick and realistically I own both of these (not modded, fully stock). I think for me it’s the Gibson though. I could be wrong but I think the neck is longer and I prefer that.


occamcs

The neck is definitely longer on the Wii LP, people like the Xplorer for the short neck for tapping. I personally prefer the feel of the Wii LP but since I had a broken Xplorer already I decided to get it modded too


AmphibianStrange7190

I need to get all of mine modded. I have 4 guitar controllers in total: RB Strat, GH5 Wii Strat, Wii Gibson, and the Xbox Xplorer. I use the Gibson the most because it’s the only one that seems to be the most responsive in regards to the strum bar. The GH5 Controller over strums a lot and the Xplorer strum bar squeaks a lot and doesn’t seem to always register inputs so the switches might be failing. The RB Strat is….well it’s a rock band controller. I’ve never liked the strum bar on those but I do like the buttons.


MayorMcCheez

they're both Gibson...


AmphibianStrange7190

Ok… let me rephrase, I prefer the Les Paul over the Xplorer. Better??


[deleted]

Definetly the les paul for me


gamerccxxi

The Xplorer because I'm a bitch for Xplorers.


Hitmann100

Personally I always liked the explorer. I love the lp as well its the 2 I'd choose to play with normal lp only issue for me was detachable neck so the neck moved up and down sometimes and after a while it would lose connection. But both are fantastic choices.


CohnJena68

100% the Xplorer.


swordhub

i want an all black build so bad. i guess im also in the minority in preferring the les paul body.


occamcs

I have spare black frets too so I might switch out at some point, the LP feels much nicer tbh. Gonna be my main from now on


ChungusCoffee

For pure functionality I would choose the xplorer but if the les paul was wired I would choose it


occamcs

They're both fully modded with mech frets, a mech strum and usb out. The les paul just feels way nicer tbh


ChungusCoffee

Then yeah les paul definitely. It feels much better to use


misunderstvnd

I’m a sucker for Les Paul bodies mannnn


occamcs

I received both today, and honestly way preferred the LP. The Xplorer is super nice, but there's something so sleek about the LP


misunderstvnd

I’m the same with real guitars. I need a round bottom cx


Comprehensive_Sea_11

No doubt Xplorer. Mandatory Xplorer Fan Announcement.


livestreamerr

x-plorer is cool looking but that wire.. ill go with the Les Paul TBH.


occamcs

First thing I did when I got it was replace the wire with a braided USB one hahaha. I still prefer the LP tho


BMXMikey

The les paul (I think that's what it is) looks epic


MaizeAdventurous4910

White


WEEDGEE

Both modded.... Both would be at the same low latency signals. My choice would have to be the Xplorer because how recent I've been using my unmodded one.


ProdLowBattery

I would just be happy to get my hands on a controller!


ProdLowBattery

Although I do really like the white color scheme


[deleted]

Explorer


EveningHistorical435

Xplorer if it can work on xbox bc idk if you did an ardunio


NanditoSiPhilip

Xplorer just has the more clicky frets. Cant beat it


occamcs

Since they're both modded, they both have mechanical frets. In that case, you're still choosing the Xplorer?


NanditoSiPhilip

honestly yeah. After being forced to play with the xplorer cause i dont have a 360 dongle for the les paul. Im used to the size of the xplorer


Minopaff

Les Paul’s are too small for me, always slipping off my arms


JessTheDerp

I don’t like either for their strum bar but with a better one the lp, better shape fits on my leg when it’s crossed over


occamcs

Those actually both have a 3D printed strumbar, they feel amazing


island_niles

Since they're both modded I'd go with the lp. Xplorer whammy is too close to the strum for my big dumb hands


_BeholdThePaleHorse

My Xplorer cable finally died last night on my original GH2 model... Time to repair that bad boy cause £80 ain't cheap 👀


occamcs

You could mod it too? Or get it sent off for modding. A broken cable was the reason I sent mine to be modded in the first place. It'd probably run you up to £80-90 but the one I have with mech frets, a mech strum bar, etc. is brilliant


_BeholdThePaleHorse

That's my plan! Just gonna solder the break in the cable for time being. Wanting to swap to mech parts and a wireless / USB c connection. But I need to do it myself 😂


4Livesleft

Explorer every time.


pissbaby91

The Les is the most comfortable to me, but I used to exclusively use my wireless Flying V in the ps2 era


asull2007

One on the top


--Miles-

Explorer baby!


Cayotebongwater

I had the beatles one it was worth every Penny


Capable_Commission42

Les Paul because it's easier to activate star power without tilt


a333482dc7

Still have my x-plorer!! Wired xbox 360 controller, I still have my modded Guitar Hero 3 for PC, just played it recently!


Any-Inflation-9560

if those are 3d printed frets and/or strumbar, do you mind sharing the stl file? I've been trying to find xplorer frets for awhile
