What's special about this item?

As guitarist, singer and frontperson of the band Halestorm, Lzzy Hale has been rocking hard since her mid-teens. Her very individual style and attitude demand a guitar that makes an equally bold statement -- which the Limited Edition Lzzy Hale Explorer from Gibson USA delivers in spades. From its iconic rebellious body shape, to its stunning Alpine White finish and gold appointments, this Explorer stands out even amid the history of attention-grabbing Modernist models. And it's primed for powerful tone, too, with Gibson's popular 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus pickups, select tonewoods, and high-quality locking hardware. To top it all off, the super-fast neck and unparalleled Gibson set-up will send you sizzling with incendiary riffs or laying down fat, chunky rhythm, whatever the gig requires. The guitar comes protected in a Vintage Brown Gibson hardshell case.

Recently purchased this from zzounds alongside a Laney Tony Iommi 15W practice amp and an Ibanez Tube Screamer. This set up is great for my home studio. The Lzzy Hale Explorer is a work of art, and extremely playable - hands down my best guitar (even beats my favorite ESP 7-string Viper). I love the heavy tones I am getting with this instrument on my lower volume rig.
