After a rather unsuccessful initial release in 1958, the Gibson Explorer™ was revisited by the rockers of the 70's who discovered it's many charms, and began to embrace it's futuristic shape and bold character as the years went on. By the 80's, this iconic model had made a name for itself, and found itself in the hands of some of the most prolific players of the decade. Introducing the Gibson 80s Explorer - a new model that pays tribute to the revered 1984 model. Featuring a fast-playing SlimTaper Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fretboard, a Mahogany body boasting the iconic shape, loaded with all new 80s Tribute pickups that recreate the unique, thick tone and rich sustain of the models from that era. All of these premium features and impeccable build quality are kept pristine with the included hardshell case, so you can take your guitar with you, without worry. Specifications
