1983 Norlin era GIBSON Explorer in ebony.

This Explorer is a solid-body with the original GIBSON guitar case.

The Explorer is right-handed. I have been the only owner of this GIBSON. <3

The guitar is 43 years old and in very good condition. There are a few dings and a bit of residual sticker glue, but it sounds heavy and growls like a beast!

I don't much play anymore, but I would love for this one to go to someone who is looking for authentic bad-ass energy and let this guitar sing once again!

If you'd like to check the serial number for yourself, 82593558, listed on the guitar.

The price of shipping is paid by the buyer, plus $155 for reverb (mandatory), and $95 for reverb processing fees (mandatory)

thanks for looking.
