The Story

Explorer Natural 2001

Who doesn't love a Gibson Explorer? This is a used '76 Reissue Explorer, built by Gibson USA in 2001, with a natural finish over the mahogany body along with a mahogany neck and 22-fret rosewood board. The guitar has a 500T which is original in the bridge, however the neck has an unsoldered cover and reads at a lower 8.37k - this pickup is likely unoriginal however it is not labeled for identification. There's a tune-o-matic bridge to keep your intonation in check and your palm muting nice and chunky! This Explorer is still in excellent shape with the original Gibson case included.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
