The Gibson 70s Explorer Antique Natural that shows why this silhouette never goes out of style
When Gibson introduced the Explorer in 1958, the guitar world wasn't ready for such a radical design. The angular, asymmetrical body broke with everything that was common until then, and precisely because of that, the Explorer grew into one of the most iconic silhouettes in the history of the electric guitar. The Gibson 70s Explorer in Antique Natural is a tribute to that period: the same striking body shape, the same no-nonsense attitude, in a finish that beautifully lets the mahogany breathe.
The two 70s Tribute humbuckers convincingly approximate the sound of the original 70s pickups. Full midrange, solid attack, and enough dynamic range to go from clean crunch to fully overdriven. The full mahogany construction contributes to that typical Gibson warmth and sustain that makes the Explorer so recognizable in a mix.
The mahogany neck with Slim Taper profile and rosewood fretboard, Acrylic Dot inlays, and 22 frets on a 24.75" scale offers smooth playability across the entire fretboard. The Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuning machines ensure reliable intonation and tuning stability. Chrome hardware in combination with the Antique Natural finish gives the Explorer a timeless look. Includes hardshell case.
A guitar for those who don't want their instrument to enter the room unnoticed.
