Rare Vintage 1980s/90s Cort-Made Explorer - Branded "Turbo Electrics" (Spider Web Graphic)

This is an incredibly rare, hard-to-find Explorer-style electric guitar from the golden era of heavy metal styling. While branded under the elusive Turbo Electrics name, this exact model was produced as an OEM build by the highly respected Cort factory in Korea during the late 1980s or early 1990s and distributed under a handful of regional brand names. Featuring an iconic, era-correct factory spider web graphic on the front, this stripped-down rock machine screams vintage attitude and performance.

Specifications & Performance Setup Pickup Configuration: Single high-output bridge humbucker; wired directly to a minimalist 1-Volume and 1-Tone control layout for a pure, uninhibited signal path that drives amplifiers perfectly.
Body Style: Aggressive, sharp Explorer body shape featuring a stark black finish with a contrasting white spider web graphic overlay.
Neck & Fingerboard: Snappy bolt-on Maple neck with a Maple fingerboard; delivering excellent note definition, bright attack, and classic look.
Bridge System: Traditional Strat-style synchronized tremolo bridge system for smooth pitch expression and dive capability.
Tuners: Equipped with premium, smooth-turning small Grover tuners for exceptional, modern tuning stability.
Setup: Freshly bench-tested, restrung with a new set of premium D'Addario EXL110 (10-46) strings, and professionally adjusted to a fast, sleek low action. Condition Note

The guitar is in very nice vintage condition. It shows light, honest cosmetic playwear texturing the finish but is entirely free of any major chips, cracks, or structural damage. The spider web graphic is beautifully preserved, the hardware functions exactly as it should, and the original electronics are completely clean and noise-free.

An incredibly unique find, this instrument comes safe and secure inside its original fitted hardshell case—an invaluable inclusion since finding aftermarket cases that properly fit a vintage Explorer body style is notoriously difficult. Fully functional, serviced, and completely ready to shred right out of the box.
