Gibson / EXPLORER 1976

The original Gibson Explorer was introduced in 1958, the guitar was designed to look futuristic, it had a symmetrical shaped solid Korina wood body, 22 fret unbound rosewood fingerboard, two humbuckers, ink stamped serial numbers, gold plated metal parts, 4 ply white plastic pick guard and were made in natural finish.

From 1976 to 1982 Gibson reissued several Explorer guitars with mahogany bodies, two humbuckers, gold plated hardware, pearl logos, white pickguards and were in natural, white or black finishes. What we have here is one of the Mahogany models from 1976.

This particular guitar appears to be all original with the exception of a neck shave to thin what was a rather thick neck, making this a great players guitar. View the detailed pics for further information on the guitars condition.
