I can't. I just thought somebody here might want one. Epiphone doesn't make them anymore. These are factory B-stock. the seller has 4 of them.

Epiphone LTD Brendon Small "Thunderhorse" Explorer Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

BurstBucker pickups deliver that timeless PAF humbucker tone
Coil-tap switches give you access to single-coil tones too
1960s SlimTaper "D" neck profile is a players' favorite

BurstBucker pickups deliver that timeless PAF humbucker tone

When it comes to creating hard-hitting tone, nothing beats the sound of the Brendon Small "Thunderhorse" Explorer's BurstBucker pickups. You'll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you'll get out of these pickups. Gibson designed these BurstBucker pickups to re-create the sound of the original PAF humbuckers to perfection. So if you want the time-tested tone of a classic Gibson, then the Epiphone Brendon Small "Thunderhorse" Explorer is the guitar for you.
Coil-tap switches give you access to single-coil tones too

Brendon Small wanted to do something to set the Epiphone "Thunderhorse" Explorer apart from the original Gibson model. This Epiphone model sports two volume knobs with push/pull coil taps, giving you access to both humbucking and single-coil tones for each pickup.
1960s SlimTaper "D" neck profile is a players' favorite

Players worldwide appreciate Epiphone's 1960s SlimTaper "D" neck profile for its fast and smooth playability. Thinner than '50s-style necks, this neck profile stays out of the way of your fast lead playing while still being substantial enough for comfortable rhythm playing.
Epiphone LTD Brendon Small "Thunderhorse" Explorer Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

Limited edition guitar for the creator of the TV show Metalocalypse Brendon Small
All-mahogany Explorer body boasts incredible sustain and tone
Dual Gibson BurstBucker pickups with push/pull coil taps for both humbucking and single-coil tone

I think these are the cheapest way to getting a silverburst finish instrument.

The Epi Thunderhorse has coil taps so you can get a single coil sound.

Same, well Thunderbirds. My right hand and wrist slide into the hip area and it's so easy to strum in there.

Palm muting sucks, so much extra wood to work around.

They are, but only with the strap button behind the heel.
