The Story

Explorer Custom Ebony 2017

This is a used and still in overall very good condition Explorer Custom, part of a limited run done by Gibson Custom in 2017. The guitar has an ebony finish with multi-ply binding and block inlays: just like a Les Paul Custom. It's loaded with two modern sounding Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers, and chrome hardware to top it all off. There are surface marks around the guitar; a scuff on the lower treble side horn and a scratch in the clear coat on the back of the body - nothing to affect playability!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
