Classic Explorer With A Bold Twist

The Epiphone Explorer is a legendary design that has defined rock and metal for decades. With its sharp, angular body and commanding presence, it stands out in any lineup. This model takes that iconic shape and gives it a striking Purple Sparkle finish, adding a modern edge to its classic roots. On stage or in the studio, this guitar demands attention, not just for its looks but also for its powerful sound and rock-solid build quality.

Vintage-Inspired Tones With Modern Clarity

Loaded with Epiphone ProBucker™ pickups, the Explorer delivers the sought-after warmth and clarity of vintage PAF humbuckers. The ProBucker-2™ in the neck provides smooth, articulate tones, while the ProBucker-3™ in the bridge packs extra output for a punchy, driven sound. With CTS electronics ensuring consistent and reliable performance, this guitar excels at everything from soaring leads to thick, powerful rhythms. Clean or cranked, it cuts through the mix with definition and authority.

Fast, Comfortable Playability

Designed for effortless performance, the SlimTaper mahogany neck offers a fast and comfortable feel. The 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard provides a familiar playing surface, while medium jumbo frets make bending notes smooth and easy. If you're locking into heavy riffs or navigating intricate solos, this neck profile keeps your hands comfortable through long sessions. Combined with a glued-in joint for enhanced sustain, it’s built for both speed and stability.

Rock-Solid Tuning And Sustain

The Explorer’s hardware is built for reliability, with a LockTone™ Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensuring maximum sustain and tuning stability. Grover® Mini tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio provide precise tuning adjustments, so you can focus on your performance without worrying about slipping out of tune. With high-quality nickel hardware and black Speed knobs for easy control, every component is designed to enhance playability and durability, making this guitar a powerhouse on stage and in the studio.
