DISC Gibson Explorer 2008 Model, Classic White Guitar Overview
Gibson Explorer 2008 Model, White - With its angular, asymmetrical body and pointed headstock, the legendary Gibson Explorer was light years ahead of its time when it was first introduced in 1958. In fact, the Explorer was such a radical departure that Gibson produced only about 100 of the famed instruments-many of which are now highly prized collectibles selling for upwards of half a million dollars. Today, the same far-out, futuristic Gibson Explorer-reintroduced in the mid-1970s-is one of the most coveted powerhouses of screaming rock and roll.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe Gibson/Epiphone Explorer series electric guitars are without a doubt one of the most striking shapes of electric guitar the world had ever seen. When it was released to an unsuspecting public in 1958 as part of the Gibson's Modernist Series. Players of the day just couldn't handle it, and very few late-'50s Explorers were produced. Fast-forward to the 70s and 80s, and the revived Gibson Explorer quickly re-established itself as one of the most iconic electric guitars of the rock and metal scenes.
To this day the Explorer is still highly regarded by heavier players throughout the rock and metal scenes, it's been seen played on stages the world over by the likes of Kiss's Paul Stanley, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl , U2's The Edge and recently in the animated hands of Dethklok on the Metalocalypse series.
