What do you get when you cross a Les Paul and an Explorer?! We aren’t sure either, but it went something like this
Built in 1985 when Gibson was experimenting with some of their rarest builds, this is a super versatile rock machine! Looking to revive the classic Les Paul Jr double Cut body shape whilst spicing up their mid 80’s range for the rise in hard rock players, Gibson added a slim taper neck and an Explorer-style hockey stick style headstock to create the Les Paul XPL. Put all this together and you get the familiar comfort and feel of a Les Paul but with the added flair and attitude of the XPL (Explorer…. you see what they did there) headstock.
If owning a rare 40-year-old Gibson wasn’t enough for you, it’s packed with other little hidden surprises – the bridge is loaded with a very rarely seen and collectable ‘double cable’ Dirty Fingers humbucker providing huge tones, splittable with the tone pot. On top of that, you have a rare Gibson-branded Kahler stud mount trem system, which featured on only a few models in the mid 80’s before switching to Kahler branding. Because the Kahler is stud-mounted, if you want to take it off and put a standard tune-o-matic bridge on with no modding, it’s as easy as undoing 4 screws and putting a tune-o-matic in its place! Add to this the 2 Gibson single coils selectable with individual on/off switches, you’ve got an incredibly versatile guitar. It’s been gigged hard and we can see and hear why – comfort, looks and tone!

How are winners chosen?
Live Draws – Every one of our Live Draws can be watched on our Facebook and YouTube page. We use a random number generator to determine the winner. If a competition does not sell out and the random number generator returns an unsold ticket number, we will generate a new number until we have a winner. We prove our streams are live by being interactive and reading comments. We love to talk with you all about guitars, gear and music.
Instant Wins – Instant Win comps have a pre-determined list of prizes with ticket numbers. If your ticket numbers for that competition match any on the list, you instantly win that prize. End draws are either a Live Draw or Auto Draw; this will be shown on the competition page.
Auto Draws – Auto draws are automatically drawn using the Think Zap random draw algorithm. The Auto Draw will take place as soon as a prize is sold out OR on the guaranteed draw date/time shown on the prize page. All prizes have a guaranteed draw date and winner regardless of ticket sellout.
