Product Description
It has travelled to stages around the world, but the 70s icon is back to explore a new generation of players. Featuring a pair of 70s Tribute humbuckers, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, this Explorer begs to be played loud. With its futuristic body shape, bound rosewood fingerboard, black Speed knobs, and chrome hardware, it looks as iconic as the generation of music it helped create.
The 1970s were an incredible time for music and all the different musical directions it went! A new breed of rock guitarists in that time were discovering the charms of the Explorer models, and how much it rocks.
The explorer is built with a bound Rosewood fingerboard, SlimTaper neck, and a pair of uncovered 70s Tribute humbuckers hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, this Explorer is set to nail all of the classic tones of the era. The iconic body shape and matching headstock, silver reflector knobs, and chrome hardware make this guitar ready to rock any arena stage.
Key Features
- 70s Tribute Humbucking Pickups – The Gibson 70s Tribute pickups are built upon the “hotter” sounding pickups that Gibson released in the mid-70s. With lots of warm tone with an increased output, these pickups strike the amplifier with more force, and a stronger signal level so it can be driven into powerful overdrive easier, making the 70s Tribute perfect to nail the tones for drop tunings and hard rock.
- Slim Taper Neck - Varying in thickness only about a tenth of an inch from the first fret out to the twelfth, the “slim-taper” neck is designed to promote high-speed playing.
- Gibson Explorer Body Shape - Stand out from the crowd with such an iconic guitar!
