Gibson '84 Explorer Reissue Electric Guitar with EMGs (With Case)

No longer available at zZounds
Gibson's "Guitar of the Week" for Week 47. Limited run of 400.

Always radical, always righteous, the Explorer blazed a path 50 years ago that would forever change electric guitar design. With a unique, triangular control figuration and no pickguard, the clean lines of this Alpine White ’84 Explorer Reissue are undeniably eye-catching. A pair of EMG pickups is the final touch on this metal masterpiece.

"The best damn guitar I've ever owned."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I can't find a guitar I'd rather play. This is MY axe, and I love it.
Sound
Unbelievable. EMG pickups sound amazing on all distortion, overdrive and clean. Amazing.
Features
Can't complain. All controls on the guitar are very accessible. Much better than the standard explorer.
Ease of Use
My fingers fly on this beast. It is like no other guitar I've ever played.
Quality
There was maybe one tiny hairline crack in the finish. It is of highest quality construction - almost never goes out of tune.
Value
At 1300 this thing is a steal!
The Wow Factor
The most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. The alpine white alone sets it above its peers.

Musical Background:

Hobbyist/I play a few gigs now and then but mostly jam with friends.

Musical Style:

I love music, period. I guess I'm a metal guy at heart, but as long as I can play guitar I love it!
