Description
Gibson Explorer - Antique Natural
As iconic as they come, the Gibson Explorer in Antique Natural is the brainchild of Ted McCarty, released in 1958 to change the world of guitars!
Sound Exploration
Introduced along-side the Gibson Flying V in 1958, the Gibson Explorer travelled where no man had gone before and past every guitar design that came before it. Over 60 years later the Gibson Explorer is utilized by artists of all genres making it one of the true classics of the guitar world.
The Antique Natural finish, all mahogany set-neck construction, rosewood fingerboard and slim taper neck provide incredible classic looks, sound and playability. A special set of calibrated Burstbucker 2 (neck) and Burstbucker 3 (bridge) pickups provide that perfect mix of volume, tone and power.
