Gibson Explorer Elite

Explorer Electric Guitars by Gibson

Explorer Elite by Gibson
Aged Cherry

The mighty Explorer made its debut some six decades ago and has remained mostly unchanged over the course of the years. Minor tweaks & adjustments happened sporadically, but the overall concept and the idea of a futuristic hard rocking axe were nailed back then in 1957. The new 2018 lineup brings the limited edition Explorer Elite model along with it. This Elite-class beast is a six-stringed rock machine with super-elegant styling, a commanding presence, and mesmerizing tone. Aged Cherry (w/gold hardware, black plastics, black headstock) is the only one available. Other features include a solid and flat mahogany body (classic Explorer pickguard, no top, no binding), a slim taper mahogany neck (set-in, satin-finished), a 22-fret baked Granadillo fingerboard, a two-piece hardtail bridge, Burstbucker pickups (w/gold covers), and Grover tuners.
