Gibson Explorer 76' Reissue — Natural (2000)


Specs

- Model: Gibson Explorer 76' Reissue

- Finish: Natural (chrome hardware) — uncommon for this period; likely original based on matching tuners, bridge, tailpiece, switch, jack plate, pickup pole screws and anchor studs. (Replacement possible but appears consistent.)

- Year: 2000

- Body: Mahogany

- Neck: Mahogany (set)

- Fingerboard: Rosewood (no binding — simpler than current 70s Explorer spec)

- Scale: Medium (24.75”/628.65mm)

- Frets: 22

- Weight: 3.7 kg

- Case: Original brown hard case included


Condition & Setup

- Cosmetic: Age-appropriate dings and surface scratches, finish discoloration at body end, headstock weather-checking.

- Parts replaced: Strap pin only.

- Neck: Straight (no warp or twist).

- Frets: Leveled; measured 1.2 mm at lowest point in the lower position; roughly 90% fret life remaining

- Truss rod: Fully functional both directions.

- Action (at 12th fret): 1st string 1.25 mm / 6th string 1.5 mm.


Why this is worth buying

- True-to-period spec with classic mahogany/rosewood tonewoods.

- Natural finish with distinctive chrome hardware — rarer and visually striking.

- Playable condition straight out of the case: straight neck, healthy frets, adjustable truss rod.


Recommended buyer

A player seeking a 70s-style Explorer reissue with solid vintage tone and a rarer natural/chrome look.


Not recommended to

Someone demanding mint, showroom-condition instruments or a flawless cosmetic example.


Act fast if you want a playable, well-kept 2000 Explorer reissue with original case — great for stage.
