Gibson Explorer 1997
This guitar is in excellent condition. There are only two small imperfections that are visible in the photos. This includes the original Gibson case. The 1999 Gibson Explorer is highly regarded for its desirable '50s/60s-style slim-taper neck, premium mahogany construction, and high-output humbuckers. The year 1999 is particularly sought after because this production year is a sweet spot for players and collectors.
Electronics: Typically equipped with Gibson’s 496R (neck) and 500T (bridge) ceramic humbuckers. This combination delivers high-output, aggressive tones perfect for hard rock and heavy metal.
Neck Profile: Unlike the chunky profiles of older vintage reissues, 1999 models tend to feature a faster, slender, and more comfortable modern-profile mahogany neck.
Premium Tonewoods: They feature solid, resonant mahogany bodies and necks, paired with dark rosewood fretboard.
