"Hetfield-Gibson is a great buy"

Feature:
The guitar is a Gibson, and the look is just awesome

Quality:
This guitar will stand up to any amount of shredding you throw at it. Mine came with the Ebony finish, and the paint was perfect, not a single imperfection.

Value:
I would gladly pay more for this guitar. This is a life time gig machine for me

Sound:
The guitar sounds great. It needs a little bit of tweaking with the amp, and its perfect.

Ease of Use:
There is no easy way to play this sitting down. Standing up its a surprisingly light guitar, and the neck is extremely comfortable. I was amazed at how easy it was to play

Support:
I've never had to call, so i'm assuming their good

Overall:
I will most likely look to buying more guitars, but this one is certainly a good buy, and can never be truly replaced

About This Product!
Description

News
The Explorer's radical body shape debuted in 1958 and was almost 20 years ahead of its time. Not until the late 1970s did rock and roll's most daring guitarists embrace the Explorer, and that classic 1976 styling is captured on today's X-Plorer.
