Gibson 50 Year Commemorative Explorer Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
50th anniversary Though Gibson's Explorer is an immediately recognizable, sought-after instrument that graces stages and studios worldwide these days, it wasn't always such a popular design. In fact, when the Explorer first left the drawing board in 1958, many in the guitar world dismissed its "futuristic" design as gimmicky and inefficient. The line was discontinued in '59, but luckily for us, Gibson revived the Explorer. The guitar was championed by artists from diverse musical backgrounds, and the Explorer has been a favorite ever since (especially in heavy metal circles). The 50 Year Commemorative Explorer celebrates a great guitar - a true survivor - in impeccable style! Premium build and components The 50 Year Commemorative Explorer features a mahogany body, and an ebony fingerboard for great playability and classy looks. The gold hardware, split block inlays, gold frets, gearless tuners, and 50th Anniversary truss rod cover make great appointments for this special guitar. Each of the 1,000 50 Year Commemorative Explorers produced include a Guitar of the Month case (and if you've ever had a Explorer, you know how important a quality case can be!). A worthy Guitar of the Month By naming the 50 Year Commemorative Explorer its Guitar of the Month for October 2008, Gibson pays an extra measure of tribute to this historic guitar. Its retro-futuristic design still turns heads half a century after its design was first unleashed, and, of course, it sounds absolutely incredible. There aren't very many guitars out there that can suit a bluesman, while being perfectly at home pumping out metal riffs on the biggest stages in the world. This commemorative guitar proves that the Explorer is still very much a top axe in the guitar universe! Gibson 50 Year Commemorative Explorer Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
