SOLD! Gibson Explorer 1976 Reissue Electric Guitar w/original hard case
Here is a beautiful example of a 1976 reissue Gibson Explorer, manufactured 2006 in the USA.
This came to us with different pick ups, bridge and volume/tone knobs (fortunately the original owner had the good sense to keep all the original parts!!). It also just didn't feel like a Gibson Explorer should to us so it was off to the Guru we use when we can't get a guitar back to it's original glory.
Well!!!! Isn't this a different guitar now. After a thorough adjustment of the neck, installation of the original bridge, re-wiring of the electronics to factory specifications, the replacement of 2 pots (with original Gibson pots), re-installation of the original volume/tone knobs, a fret polish, neck oil and an end-to-end set up this Explorer is ready to hit the stage or studio!!!
It sounds absolutely killer and plays like butter!!!!
There is some minor playing wear and minor scuffs around the Gibson headstock logo but this guitar is in otherwise excellent condition for it's age.
These reissue Explorers are renowned for accurately replicating the spec's of the original 1976 and this is an excellent example of just that.
This beauty also comes with the original Gibson USA hard case which is also in great condition.
This guitar is a true piece of history, with its Natural finish and Gold Hardware that gives it a timeless look. The Mahogany body provides a warm and resonant tone that will make you want to play for hours. The Mahogany with Rosewood Fingerboard neck is comfortable to play and adds a touch of warmth to the overall tone.
The Original Gibson 496R Humbucker and 500T Humbucker pickups are a perfect combination, giving you a wide range of tonal options, from warm and smooth to high-output and aggressive. This allows you to create your own unique sound.
The Grover Tuners are known for their stability and precision, ensuring that you can play with confidence. No floppy tuner experience here, these Grovers feel military-grade.
If you're looking for a guitar that combines style, tone and performance, the Gibson Explorer '76 Reissue is a perfect choice. This guitar is a true piece of history, a must-have for any Gibson enthusiast.
