Well, I'm getting a bit sick of my Les Paul, doesnt really suit my sound anymore. I'm thinking of trading it in and getting an Epiphone Flying V or Explorer....which one is better?

it depends on the actual guitar cos you can get different flying V's and explorers so what models was you thinking of chooseing between? and cant you just test them when you get in the shop? dont buy of the internet man, you need to know how it feels befor you by.

I dislike Flying V's, mainly because of the way they look and because they're difficult to play sitting down. Explorers, on the other hand, are one of my favorite guitars. But that's just me. Try them both of them out at a music store and see which one YOU like.

Those Korina ones

I must stress that there are no good music stores near me, so I doubt I can really try out the guitar

Just ask yourself "What would Bob Mould play?"

Play them both and see which one you like best. If you play sitting down a lot, you might want to go with the Explorer. I also think the Explorer looks cooler.

Thats one of the main reasons I want one...he uses a Flying V more, but I seen a YouTube vid where he was playing an Explorer...I can't choose

Yes, I can tell you that responding to a question posted over three years ago is a little late. :P
