The Explorer has arrived in player's condition as a recommended used item! It was manufactured in 2004.\u003cbr\u003e The large, striking body shape, likened to a \"lightning bolt,\" shocked numerous guitarists upon its introduction in 1958, but its innovative design was not well-received in the market at the time, leading to its discontinuation. Later, in the 1970s, copy models by other manufacturers became popular, and Gibson itself re-released the guitar in 1976, using mahogany for the body. This particular model follows the specifications of the 1976 model, which marked the start of that re-production and the beginning of full-scale distribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The wood materials include a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The Antique Natural finish gives it a striking presence! Gold hardware adds a touch of accent!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The pickups are open-type 496R and 500T. They deliver not only heavy distortion thanks to the high output of the ceramic magnets, but also a clean tone with excellent definition.
