Gibson Explorer 76 Ebony - £999.00 FREE UK SHIPPING
Gibson Explore 76
The Gibson Explorer is instantly recognizable and completely unequalled in the world of unconventional guitar designs. The Explorer design is copied by some - but our Special Sale price makes this the perfect time to own the real thing - while they last. More aggressive than ordinary single or double cutaway guitar designs, the Explorer's look is almost dangerous.
The original Explorer of 1958 was more radically modernistic than its famous cousin, the Flying V. Musicians finally caught up with the Explorer in 1976, and today's Explorer revives the first reissue. Features include Gibson 496R and 500T ceramic humbuckers, a mahogany body with a rounded mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard, and a Tune-o-matic bridge with a Stop Bar tailpiece. This Natural finish version features the fine detail of gold hardware. Includes hardshell case.
In 1958 At the Hop by Danny and the Juniors topped the radio and record charts for 7 straight weeks, surpassing two other monster hits that year - The Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley and The Chipmunk Song by, of course, The Chipmunks. In that same year Gibson's Ted McCarty met a challenge from rival Leo Fender and introduced three revolutionary, highly stylized solidbody electric guitars-the Explorer, the fabled lost Moderne, and the Flying V.
