Custom Shop Electric Guitar with Gibson Humbuckers and Gold Hardware, including case and certificate
The Gibson Explorer Custom 2017 Ebony is a 6-string electric guitar that offers a modern voice with a classic soul. This 2017 Explorer Custom takes the bold profile of the Explorer into new aesthetic and sonic territory compliments of a Custom-inspired set of appointments. For this very limited run, Gibson deliver an upscale look on an iconic shape that offers signature playability and an instantly-recognisable voice.
This guitar is powered by crisp, edgy-voiced matched 490/498 humbucker pickups that deliver the classic Explorer tone with huge versatility. A solid mahogany body adds the ideal amount of bite to suit any musical genre from jazz to hard rock. A richlite fingerboard and 1-piece mahogany neck are comfortable to hold and play on thanks to a medium C-shape profile. This guitar comes in an ebony finish and includes a black hardshell Custom Shop case as well as a Certificate of Authenticity.
