Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a solid playing Explorer with excellent tone and a pretty clean overall look. In terms of sound, this guitar has great dynamic. The neck humbucker is big, warm, and full, while the bridge has a bit more clarity and chime with a little classic jangle that makes it equally as effective for rhythm as it does for leads. The slim neck plays beautifully throughout its length and between its weight and profile, feels almost effortless to move around. The body does show various love marks, so the next owner doesn’t have to worry about adding any, but considering its age is still in great shape.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does show various nicks, dings, dents, chips, scuffs, and scratches, but is still in great shape for its age and still sounds and plays fantastic. There is a finish crack behind the low E string tuning machine. The frets show only light wear and still have a considerable amount of playing time left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Solid Explorer body in Black finish. Chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Black speed knobs. 3-ply white pickguard.
Neck: Slim C shape neck and rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. Sealed chrome Gibson tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width. 24.75” scale.

Weight: 8 lbs 6.9 oz
Playability/Sound: The slim neck on this Explorer plays effortlessly from the nut to the cutaway. The humbucker in the neck has a huge open and full response with great range, while the bridge pickup is more thinned out with better articulation and chime.
Case: Includes unoriginal hardshell case.
