Here's a rare, vintage 1984 Gibson Explorer III in ebony nitrocellulose finish. Three P90s!
Even more exciting, this guitar was rumored to be owned by Kirk Hammett. There is "KH '86" in red paint pen on the back of the headstock. I can't verify if it was, but it's a cool part of the story on an otherwise kick ass '80s Explorer that was only manufactured for one year. Tell your friends whatever you want when you buy it! It is a shredder for sure.
Includes original hardshell case. See VIDEO DEMO linked here for playing samples.
