Feature:
The guitar is a Gibson, and the look is just awesome

Quality:
This guitar will stand up to any amount of shredding you throw at it. Mine came with the Ebony finish, and the paint was perfect, not a single imperfection.

Value:
I would gladly pay more for this guitar. This is a life time gig machine for me

Sound:
The guitar sounds great. It needs a little bit of tweaking with the amp, and its perfect.

Ease of Use:
There is no easy way to play this sitting down. Standing up its a surprisingly light guitar, and the neck is extremely comfortable. I was amazed at how easy it was to play

Support:
I've never had to call, so i'm assuming their good

Overall:
I will most likely look to buying more guitars, but this one is certainly a good buy, and can never be truly replaced

Feature:
The reason why I bought this guitar was for its looks. It is, to me, pretty much the most brutal and awesome looking guitar out there. Great confidence builder. The neck is what sealed the deal though at my local guitar store. I have played several guitars from Ibanez's, Jackson's, Gibson's, Epiphonies, and Fender's and I never felt so comfortable playing on a neck before. The neck is a very important but overlooked feature on a guitar that can of course only be experienced by playing it. Go try it out! Buy it from Zzounds to avoid paying sales tax and shipping(except NJ)! Stick it to the Man! Saved around $100. Everything feels nice and smooth when I play on this guitar. Even $2000+ guitars do not have a feel like this, which just goes to show you do not have to take out a mortgage to get a fine quality guitar.

Quality:
It's a Gibson Explorer...enough said. Always looks better in person. Great case by the way. Mine out the box came with a perfect set up. Low action. Of course had to change the strings. No blemishes, no cosmetic issues,and the quality of the guitar will last as long as you want. Take care of your stuff. You paid for it.

Value:
Gibson. I would pay around...$1750+ for this guitar. It is that amazing. I am glad it is cheaper that of course.

Desirability:
This is probably one of the sexiest guitars to be had. Even an old dude would get some if he was rockin' out on a Gibson explorer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank whoever was responsible for the design...Thank you. Many mimic this design...and they fail because there's never, never, never, never, never, ever than the real thing.

Sound:
The sounds I am able to get from the pickups has a wide range. I prefer a warm and full tone, and this guitar delivers on both humbuckers. Great for clean and of course with heavy gain. I have played this through a Marshall, Krank, Line 6, and a Bugera...and I would prefer the Marshall. Krank is great but only good to me for gain. Most amp companies have a good clean. So...sounds best through any Marshall tube amp. Guitars are only going to sound as good as your amp.

Ease of Use:
The neck feels great. Playing standing up is just like playing sitting down. Love it. It is dream like. I look forward everyday to playing it. Just forget about friends and family for a second. Just need my Gibson time.

Support:
No need.

Overall:
This is a great buy. I am glad I could afford it. I honestly think they could throw a couple more hundred on there because it is a very high quality guitar. Use the 4 payment plan if you have a hard time financially. Zzounds is awesome to have this payment plan. Take advantage of it. This guitar is worth every penny.
