An iconic solidbody electric guitar suited to an iconic rocker! Gibson's Sammy Hagar Explorer gives you all the hard-hitting tonality and distinctive looks that make the Explorer design so sought after - and adds the Red Rocker's signature touches. The solid mahogany body and set mahogany neck make this tonal hot rod handle great onstage or in the studio.

Plus, you're going to love the Sammy Hagar Explorer's signature touches.



Gibson Sammy Hagar Explorer Signature Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • The Red Rocker's signature axe
  • Iconic Explorer design
  • Hard-hitting humbuckers


The Red Rocker's signature axe
From Montrose to Van Halen to his solo work to the Chickenfoot supergroup, Sammy Hagar has been lighting up stages for decades with his signature style. Now, Gibson's Sammy Hagar Explorer gives you a solidbody electric guitar to match the rock icon's character. From its unique finish to cool cream binding to the Red Rocker "R" on the truss rod cover, this axe befits a legend. You even get a Chickenfoot "ghost image" on the back that can only be seen when the guitar is held at a particular angle.

Iconic Explorer design
Gibson built the Sammy Hagar Explorer with a solid mahogany body and a very comfortable set mahogany neck (topped with rosewood), so you know you're in for rich tones, great sustain, and outstanding midrange character. Add the premium hardware and you've got a stageworthy guitar that's also perfect for the studio.

Hard-hitting humbuckers
When you plug the Sammy Hagar Explorer into your amp, you'll get the kind of big-time tones you'd expect from the Red Rocker. Gibson equipped this amazing axe with a creamy-sounding '57 Classic humbucker at the neck and a hotter-wound Burstbucker at the bridge. In addition to sounding great, these pickups feature classic zebra-coil looks - perfect for this guitar!
