Cool old explorer! Plays very well with good set up and low action on thin C neck profile. Nice maple neck with ebony board and medium jumbo frets with almost zero fretwear. The pickups have been swapped to Gibson dirty fingers and they sound great! High output and loud with long musical sustain and punchy midrange. The guitar is super clean for its age. There is a small bruise on the bottom bass side edge but not too noticeable. The back has some very faint scratching and swirling but nothing through the finish or too deep. There is also one tiny ding behind the first fret on the bottom of the neck that you can’t even feel while playing. Overall looks very nice and well kept. Fun player with style and vibe and heavy tone!

Comes with a HaMer hard shell case.
