Some first-shot pics of my blue Gibson Explorer Melody Maker
These pics aren't the quality that are going into my written reviews, but I thought I'd post the rough-idea shots so you could some some of the finer points of the guitar... The ones from the online stuff don't quite give this much angle...

WOW! The new Gibson 491T Bridge Pickup! Like a smoother Explorer 500T...
A review on http://theguitarreview.com is coming on this pickup! Stay tuned!!!!!!!
A new pickup variety from Gibson! A ceramic bridge humbucker that's meant to crunch nicely, but not quite the out-and-out rawk of an Explorer 500T. It does a great job. You can play almost smoothly if you finger pick lightly, but the pickup is SUPER-responsive when you dig in to the strings. You can't quite get a clean tone out of these (like the 498T and 500T), but you sure can rock!
