Jim Keays (of The Masters Apprentices) family has decided it's time to move on some of Jim's collection. We start with this Gibson Explorer III from 1984. Wow!, we've never had one of these in before. Time to ride the lightening.
Only in production for one year, the Explorer III differed from other Explorers in a few ways. For one, it used an Alder body instead of Mahogany. Additionally, the Explorer III wielded three P-90 pickups instead of humbuckers and lacked a pickgaurd.

Body Style: Angled solidbody
Wood Composition: Alder body, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard
Design Elements: Three P-90 pickups, two controls, tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece
