The Explorer™ was first introduced in 1958. While it was less than enthusiastically received at the time, guitarists discovered its many charms as the years passed. Rockers embraced its futuristic shape and powerful sound by the 1970s, but during the hard-rockin’ 80s, the model came into its own and was adopted by some of the greatest players of the decade. The new Explorer 80s EMG is based on the popular 1984 model. The 1984 Gibson Explorer is an iconic electric guitar that stands out for its distinctive design and massive tones. Players like The Edge, Billy Gibbons, and James Hetfield have all wielded Explorers, contributing to their legendary status. If you’re into retro-futuristic guitars, the Explorer 80s EMG is a stunning tribute to that era’s edge and attitude.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW GUITAR.
