Early 1981 Gibson Explorer with expertly repaired headstock break as shown in pictures. Lots of dings and playwear including light buckle rash on back and 45 years of fading on the gold hardware. The Gibson tar back pickups sound fantastic, and the original 1970s style fretless wonder frets are worn but still have some life left in them. I've owned this one for 25 years but now it's time to move on. Original case in good shape. Offers considered but lowball offers will not receive a response.
