This 1983 Gibson Heritage Explorer presents a striking Ebony finish that compliments its angular lines with understated confidence. Its Tim Shaw humbuckers deliver the bold, open voice these early-’80s builds are known for, perfect for the high-gain rock of the era. It remains all original with mild player wear and some patina on the hardware to note. A notable example from a short-lived run, it brings together an uncommon aesthetic with the feel of a seasoned instrument.Includes OHSC.
