Well if it's just the explorer shape you want then there's the Warwick Strykers aswell, the ESP EX-104 and several hundred thousand Deans.

Well, you sort of need ten-to-fifteen thousand dollars...

It's an Alembic Exploiter. Now, I think they're called Spyders, but production on them has stopped... or something to that effect.

they made a run of them after John died, as a tribute- silver spiderweb inlays and all that. You can still get them as a custom job, as I understand.
