Full Description
View Full DescriptionFor the guitarist who demands the best
Few sounds are as iconic as Gibson’s humbucking pickups. Their tight, responsive attack has made them a firm favourite amongst some of the biggest rock bands on the planet. But the 70s Explorer takes it to the next level. Both 70s Tribute pickups give a wealth of texture and depth. Down low, you’ll discover growl and thunder, perfect for putting more oomph into your chord progressions. Up high, you’ll get snappy tops that cut through any mix, giving your solos plenty of headroom to shine. All whilst promising noise-free operations, even at the highest volumes.
The perfect blend of comfort and class
We know. The 70s Explorer is a work of art. But it’s not all just about good looks. Sculpted from mahogany, the Explorer boasts huge, natural sustain that will knock you off your feet. You’ll feel every note resonate with maximum impact. Shred with ease on the rosewood fingerboard. Its slim taper design gives you more access to chord and finger positionings all the way up to the last fret. You’ll be able to play all night long without ever feeling fatigued.
It’s all about the finer details
From its hand-wired electronics to its Graph Tech nut, every aspect of the 70s Explorer has been selected to give you the ultimate playing experience. Guitars like this don’t come around often. Discover flawless tuning stability from a Tune-O-Matic bridge. This bespoke piece ensures the best possible intonation whilst minimising cross-talk between each string.
