Manufacturer's Description for Gibson DSRX Reverse Explorer Electric Guitar

The Gibson Limited Edition Reverse Explorer Electric Guitar has flipped the guitar world upside down. The Reverse Explorer's solid, one-piece mahogany body is as angular and asymmetrical as before, but it's now inverted so that the small horn is on the upper bass-side bout extending upward, while the larger horn is now positioned on the lower treble-side bout, pointing downward.

Highlighting the Explorer's unique body outline is a carbon fiber pickguard shaped like a lightning bolt, and extending the entire length of the body. The neck is the traditional Explorer neck - a hybrid between Gibson's standard '50s rounded contour and it's '60s slim-taper profile. It is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with carbon fiber inlays at the fifth and 12th fret.

The limited edition Reverse Explorer also sports the rare, art deco-style Gibson logo - found among old drawings belonging to Gibson president Ted McCarty. The headstock itself is a McCarty era-inspired shape, equipped with Steinberger gearless tuners with a 40:1 tuning ratio for unparalleled accuracy. In the neck position, Gibson's '57 classic pickup delivers warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch, while the '57 classic plus - the perfect bridge-position companion to the '57 classic - delivers slightly higher. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gibson products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. Gibson Reverse Explorer Customer Review

Sound: I was shocked when I picked this piece up. I got it just for the cool factor, and the tone on this beast is simply just that, a beast. Absolutely the fattest tone I've ever heard on a Explorer. Maybe the pickups? Maybe the body style? Dunno, but notes and chords are fat, chunky and thick. True, not just fat, not just chunky, not just thick, but all of the three! I ran it into a JVM 410H--Vintage 30 cab. I then compared it to a 84 Reissue Explorer, and thought the tone was better on the Reverse one. Didn't have the same bite as the re-issue, but again, was a 'bigger' tone. Feature: Basic features of an Explorer. Ease of Use: It takes a little getting used to, as there's no where to rest your arm like a regular Explorer Quality: Finish looked incredible. Looks black in regular light, put a bunch of light on it the thing shows its true color. Pups are great, and electronics work as expected. Fret job perfect, I got a good one from the factory. Value: way overpriced! Manufacturer Support: I've dealt with Gibson before on other things, and I've always been happy with the way they have handled everything. The Wow Factor: It's sexy. It's George Jetson guitar. Overall: I am happy to get a hold of one of these. I doubt I'll get rid of it, but I'm not certain how much use it will get. The tone on it is what got me hooked.
