The bold lines and extreme shape of the Explorer make for one intimidating guitar. Dial in the 496R and 500T humbuckers from soft whispers to all-out mayhem.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
496R and 500T humbucking pickups Delivers traditional rockin' tone

"One glance and you know instantly: this is a rock'n'roll powerhouse of a guitar. The Gibson 2017 Explorer T delivers raw power, scorching tones, and extreme sustain, all wrapped in an iconic design that's as rebellious as rock itself.

And beneath the Explorer's aggression and brute sonic force lie the subtler qualities that make a Gibson such a special guitar: superb playing comfort, extreme speed, and the confidence of utmost quality. Crafted in the image of the original radical Explorer body style, using select solid mahogany, and loaded with two of Gibson's fiercest high-gain humbuckers and top-quality hardware, the Explorer T is truly a piece of rock weaponry that can do it all.

The guitar is delivered in a classic Gibson hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap and a polishing cloth."

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Bought this guitar in "blemished" condition for a fairly substantial discount and couldn't be happier. There were two tiny dings on the back, which were hardly noticeable unless you really looked for them, otherwise the finish was perfect. After a quick truss rod adjustment, some fretboard conditioner and a new set of strings the guitar was ready to rock. This thing feels fantastic and plays beautifully. The other thing I need to mention is that the Free Shipping was really fast....I had the guitar at my doorstep in PA in less than 24 hrs. Thank you zZounds!!!!! I will definitely be buying from you again. There are not a lot of reviews out there yet for these 2017 Explorers, but I can tell you this guitar is well built, great sounding and great looking. If you are on the fence about getting it don't hesitate....it's a fantastic guitar and worth every cent.
