Gibson Explorer - 120th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Explorer 120 begins with a Grade-A mahogany body cut to the angular profile of this trend-setting axe. The glued-in Grade-A neck is carved to the fast, slim profile that so many rockers love, with a bound one-piece Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with frets over binding and dot inlays. The traditional "droopy" six-a-side headstock has a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo, and there's a commemorative "120th Anniversary" banner at the 12th fret. Vintage tones are privided by Guitarheads Lumberbucker pickups which have been sprayed in the original cherry nitro laquer to match the body. I have also added custom made knobs to further make this axe stand out in a crowd. A chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece partner with Mini Grover tuners for solid sustain and efficient tune ups. The Explorer 120 is finished with hand-sprayed high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and comes protected in an elegant brown hardshell case. This guitar is a monster on stage and in the studio where it shines when I need a deep, punchy tone with lots of mids and clear high end and attack. Truely a one-of-a kind axe.

Note on LumberBucker Pickups:

The GuitarHeads Lumberbucker pickups are constructed with bobbins topped with real wood, and have an overall tone based off of the Vintage PAF Pickups of the late 1950's. However this modern version has much more output & hotter feel due to the added midrange bite. The warm traditional glassy tone comes from the Alnico V Magnet, and each pickup is Wax Potted for Microphonic Suppression. These pickups also feature a 5 Conductor Lead, allowing you to Tap the Coils for alternate wiring.
