About This Product!
Description
News
The Gibson Commemorative 50th Anniversary Explorer Electric Guitar combines the time-tested elements of the original with several modern appointments worthy of today's demanding players. The retro-style, solid mahogany body is as angular and asymmetrical today as it was the first day it left Gibson's Kalamazoo plant in 1958. Added, however, is a AA figured maple top with beveled edges, and a brand new Brimstone Burst finish - all exclusive features of this limited edition. The headstock's unique Gibson logo was recently found in a warehouse, among some old drawings belonging to Gibson President Ted McCarty. The neck is also one-piece mahogany with Gibson's traditional '50s rounded profile, topped by a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard with pearl split-block inlays and single-ply binding.

This limited edition Explorer is powered by two Gibson '57 classic pickups, made to the same exact specs as the original PAFs of the late 1950s and early 1960s, and packing that unmistakable Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. Other select features include gold fret wire and hardware, Steinberger Gearless tuners, and a custom Guitar of the Month case from Gibson USA. Like all of the Gibson USA's Guitars of the Month, production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
