This is the second guitar (not the last!) guitar I got from zZounds.com and I couldn't be happier. The 2017 Explorer sounds so amazing! It's got that classic look but with all the upgrades including self tuning with G-Force which I had never used before and love. As usual Gibson, great dang job!

Alright, so this guitar is incredible. The sound, the feel, the look, it's absolutely fantastic. Buuuuuuut....be prepared to spend a little bit more money to remove the garbage GForce tuning system and replace it with tuners that aren't gimmicky and trash. I tried to give it a chance, but every time I used it, it would just detune my D string until there was no tension left. This is after re-calibrating it several times. Maybe I missed something, but the bottom line is, I can tune my own damn guitar. I don't need your junk, Gibson.
It's not stopping me from highly recommending this guitar though, just, like I said, be ready to replace the tuners.
Also, zZounds was great with shipping and the guitar was in great condition upon arrival, as always. Cheers!
