Innovative Electronics with High Output Pickups
The Explorer GT includes a pair of high output humbuckers ideal for distortion and metal crunch. The 650R in the neck position combined with the 700T at the bridge add a high-end kick to the normal body you get with a pair of humbuckers for squealing overtones and scorching solos. As an innovative new feature, Epiphone has included a kill-switch on the master tone knob which effectively silences all output from the guitar when committed. Kill-switches like this have been used by countless artists over the years, and the Explorer GT makes it easier than ever to incorporate the device into your playing style.Features:

"Just bought a Explorer gt"
I picked this guitar up used I was so excited when I originally saw it. I cant afford a real explorer its been a wish to own one. When I held the guitar however I had mixed emotions the smaller size and weight are decieving and the salesman even commented on it being a "mini". I am very impressed though with its performance, despite feeling like a childs guitar it produces great sound and sustain. I dont really have the experience to make any real pros or cons but for the price I was very happy to find it.
