I recorded the rhythm guitar parts with my 1976 Gibson Explorer as usual
From Rolf's linked interview with MetalAddicts
According to Rolf, his first "real" guitar was a 1976 Gibson Explorer he purchased in 1978. It has been his most extensively used guitar with Running Wild for both recording and playing live. He would go on to make numerous customizations to this Explorer over the years including a sticker of the band's logo (seen in the highlighted image), a reflective golden pickguard around The Brotherhood's release, and most recently some rather piratical looking riveted metallic gold plating. Additionally, as seen in the image linked below, the original pickups have been changed out at least once since he got the guitar, although the specific pickup models have never been divulged.
