Description

Since its debut in '58, the Explorer has sought to inspire both players & fans alike with its unique, futuristic design & superb tonal qualities. The E2 carried on that tradition back in the late '70s showcasing the original design, but with a walnut body & neck. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!

Cosmetic Condition: Various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some finish wear. There are a couple of extra screw holes on either side of the bridge posts & the neck was professionally refretted, so the guitar plays like a champ! Overall it's got a great look to it with a cool vibe.

Neck: Walnut & maple neck with ebony fingerboard & mother of pearl dot inlays. Unoriginal medium jumbo frets are in great shape with no wear. Gibson diecast tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body: Contoured, solid walnut body with maple strips. TP-6 tailpiece with Tune-O-Matic bridge & gold hardware. 5-ply black pickguard & metal jackplate. Guitar weighs 10 lbs 2 oz.

Electronics: Gibson T-Top neck humbucker - 15.31K ohms; Dirty Fingers bridge humbucker - 16.08K ohms. Dual volume & master tone controls with black speed knobs. 3-way toggle switch & pots date to '79. All electronics are in good working condition.

Case: Gibson Explorer bass hardshell case included.
