Product Description

Gibson Explorer

With its angular, asymmetrical body and pointed headstock, the legendary Gibson Explorer was light years ahead of its time when it was first introduced in 1958. Today, the same far-out, futuristic Gibson Explorer--reintroduced in the mid-1970s--is one of the most coveted powerhouses of screaming rock and roll. The Gibson ...

[captainnmorghann]

[geeksicle]

... my nipples are like tank starter buttons right now.

[jackdiesal666]

@geeksicle

but will they blend?

[TheBand148]

Brendon Small isn't anywhere near as popular as he should be!

[M16pwnage46]

gibson...

WHY YOU NO MAKE LEFTY EXPLORERS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!

[xtronic11]

I like the way he shows us the pickups at 0:49

[EmperorHeresy]

But..................will it blend?



[HurricaneTBag]

81 in the neck and 89 in the bridge? Isn't it usually the reverse? In my guitar it is.

[hhhsks]

@HurricaneTBag Actually m8, usually the 81 is in the neck position. 90% of the guitars you see which had an EMG 80 series set will have the 81 up top :)

[themaggot8]

@HurricaneTBag usually the 81 goes in the bridge, but when the 85 or 89 is in the bridge, it gives more bite, sounds fatter and delivers a more "organic" sound which is cool when you're using low tunnings.

[sm0kinstrat]

"he has a lot of tools, that he can make things with..." lmao

[g2j2008]

it slices and dices for only 3 easy payments of $29.95!!!! Order Now.

[TheEmperorInferno]

There's no such thing as trolls.

Then how do you explain the dead unicorns?

[GuyNamedCarl]

@TheEmperorInferno (silence) lol

[KratosKidd707]

We could like, gets an endangered species and...kill it. That'd be cool.

[DuskAndHerEmbrace666]

How dare he steal Skwisgaar's guitar... :O Dirty theif ;)

[iniciadoz]

presumido de cuarta

[Rhino873]

i have an ibanez iceman and i honestly think there both equaly great! it feels like an explorer! but thats just me.

[Acecombatgamertwo]

Brendon Small plants peoples souls in his garden to grow Gibsons

[pedromiles101]

That's a pretty cool guitar. BUT WILL IT BLEND?

[PANICBLADE]

@MetalHeroismify thats Brandon Smalls

[lasoogneypubes]

@PANICBLADE Brendon Small not Brandon Smalls lol

[PANICBLADE]

@lasoogneypubes i was replying to a guy who said home movies which is a show with a kid in it named brandon smalls. their names are similar so he made the mistake and i was correcting him. the guys name is in the name of the vid im not an idiot.

[lasoogneypubes]

@PANICBLADE No in Home Movies it's still Brendon Small. There's actually a bunch of times in the show where people call him Brandon and he corrects them and says "Brendon". IMDB that shit

[jasonwalden]

@PANICBLADE Brendon Small*

[Lightyy93]

Nice guitar, but the question is

Will it blend?

[ChyronIsChillin]

Paul Gilbert is the man. I was hoping he would say that when he listed his inspirations.

[nsnBORN2KILL]

EMG's SUCK! They all sound the same!!! Get Bare Knuckles and blow away the competition...

[SteelSkin667]

@nsnBORN2KILL Actually, each EMG model has its own distinct sound. I can still understand that you think that since most "metal" guitars come equipped with an 81 in the bridge, which has a razor-sharp treble attack, and tend to sound very harsh.

[srv1959]

Black and Gold.

[D1vid3By0]

Lol, got 81's in the neck of my Ibanez RG550. Switching for an EVO because i don't like the EMG in the neck. I have another 81 in the bridge and it sounds perfect. Now i'm going to go Crush My Battle Opponents Balls then get on my Thunderhorse to go find those fucking Vikings I Lost when my Hatredcopter crashed into the Water.

[Leviskardsen]

@D1vid3By0 You can't have active and passive pickups in the same guitar. Well you can, but it takes a hell of a lot of work and there's hardly ever enough room inside the control cavity.

[D1vid3By0]

@Leviskardsen

Holy Sh-

Well the 81's are going to have to go... I just took my guitar apart for refinishing. Thanks for telling me dude! Probably going to look for some EVO's or maybe Air Norton.

[deadtombII]

I'd stand on that.

[JohnTDockum]

Jackson rapes Gibson.

[hvislysettaros2010]

Sorry, I meant Brendon

[hvislysettaros2010]

My comment is going to be a bit crazy but I want to let Brendan know what an inspiration he is to me as a cartoonist and musician myself. He is living what I only dream about, and I am so in love with Nathan Explosion. I want him for myself lmao! I have many ideas for cartoon characters (of the dark metal variety) and some awesome stories to go with them, including Nathan. Does Brendan have a fan page? I haven't found one yet.

[jmachina25]

Is it just me or is it very similar to James Hetfield's rusty explorer?

[weeMAN1300]

QUICK!! name something that doesn't hafta do with guitar... go.. go.. GO!

[PoopyAnis]

@weeMAN1300 uhh uhh ah god damn i cant.

[xlxfinaldeathwishxlx]

is there any way i can get an Explorer W/ EMG's? or am i going to have to personally mod it

[JS2BF]

@xlxfinaldeathwishxlx Stock Gibson Explorers have Gibson pickups. So to answer your question yes. Unless you buy it used and its already modded.

[xMadWarlock]

DETHKLOK DETHKLOK ! Natahn Explosion!

[doowekal]

Whoever the asshat is messing with all the papers in the background needs to be fired

[Bassist16]

whats with the guy playing with tin foil at the back?

[estyl10l]

dam stop talking and start playing

[Maggotsolider777]

but will it blend...

[DrEviscerator666]

Skwisgaar FTMFW!

[marauder622]

@XIntoxicationalX no the dave mustaine signature is good for dave's band or the wall. why buy a signature when you can buy a non signature guitar and then customize it?

[XIntoxicationalX]

@marauder622 Yeah but I think its perfect to me oh well just opinions

[megaluisdeth]

@XIntoxicationalX Yes!

[Blompcube]

@XIntoxicationalX there is no such thing as "best" when it comes to things like that.

think about it, if that really was the best guitar for metal, nobody would be using anything else for metal.

[TheApplepie131]

1:33 i think he will say that at pauls funeral

[Deathz0r94]

Ibanez RGA7 or RG7321 with emg 81/85 or Crunch Lab 7/ Liquifire

[Deathz0r94]

You forgot John Petrucci as an influence lol

[cars812]

HE STOLES SKWIGSCARS GUITAR

[2fast4theWin]

@cars812 He is the creator of Skwisgaar! :D

[cars812]

@cars812 how do you know skwigscar didnt create brendon small

[synisterseven]

7 string ibanez guitars are my favorite metal guitars.

[Jackyouroff]

24 frets and then i will buy it

[Vykkdraygo713]

id like to stand on that...

[kix7711therealone]

i think the best metal guitar is dean razorback

[sarahaudrey03]

0:14 I thought "hurrrr that's Skwisgaar's guitar!"

[Timmycakes88]

Will it blend...that is the question

[PuffSmelly]

@Timmycakes88 i love will it blend

[kalmahman48]

he got his pickups mixed up

[SuperToother]

every time i read the title of this video i (because im stupid) read it as excalibuitar. dammit skwissgar

[wolfboii999]

Best metal guitar is the B.C. Rich Chuck Schuldiner Tribute Stealth. just my piece of input to those of you down there arguing the best metal guitar.

[Sulfur81]

Thats a pretty cool guitar. BUT CAN YOU STAND ON IT?

[brandonfishas]

@Sulfur81 On the ESP ones... YES YOU CAN

[ChucklesMginty]

@Sulfur81 You have no idea how much that made me laugh.

[Gigglebutts799]

@Sulfur81 why would u even want to

[Sulfur81]

@Gigglebutts799 if you even watched metalocalypse you would know its a reference to it xD

[frankenguy]

@Sulfur81 That is a pretty cool guitiar. BUT WILL IT BLEND?

[Nashmetal100]

@0ne0fTheFour no it is not the explorer is.

[SalukAntiwii]

FREAKY! OUTY!

FREAKY! OUTY!

WHOO-WHOO! WHOO-WHOO!

[6Vital6Remains6]

Why is he acting like you can't just use 11-54's for C Standard tuning?

[Ayjay717]

i had no idea he used an 89 in the bridge kinda weird but unique i guess now we know where his different sound comes from

[MrNeosantana]

His playing kinda reminds me of Alexi Laiho.(even Skwisgaar's model)

[taj334]

who the hell puts an 81 in the neck and an 89 in the bridge?????

[tenhundredkills]

@taj334 Brendon Small does.

[silentabyss666]

@taj334 obviously brandon does :P

[AxisOfEternity]

"Toki holds his own..."

pfft lol...

[Limeklok]

I was planning on going to guitar center, grabbing this guitar and running.

[cars812]

@Limeklok good luck.it all the way up about 25ft up there

[mrmcriff]

Who wants to see Brendon Small and Zakk Wylde jam, that be so fucking kick ass \,,/

[TheMetalGuy01]

so much better than that computer robot shit Gibson released not long ago

[SupraliminalToolFan]

Id likes to stands on thats thing!

[PuffSmelly]

i have the explorer shred x

[thedeadlyxero23]

i like the blue guitar! :D

[MultiCatfish101]

i want his pickgaurd lol

[PuffSmelly]

i just got my explorer gothic 2 i could not be happier

[phreestylesk8r]

i have wanted a gibson explorer for so long, and dethklok makes me want it more

[xxXLoganLeyXxx]

He is such a great musician, I would LOVE to meet him one day :)

[Joe35983]

That is my FAVORITE guitar design.

my older brother used to have those

[tcbshaded39]

Funny enough I just got an old 97 black Gibson Explorer and made it just like this one to a T, the pickups, Truss rod cover/ pick guard. Only thing is I use 12s for my strings. Light to heavy set is nice but for C standard I feel like I would have to tune way too much because my bridge wasn't setup for it.

[TonysTactics]

@Xxmadk1lLerxx It's by Gibson

[Guitardude81597]

what about marty friedman?

[awsumEFF]

@Xxmadk1lLerxx please tell me you're kidding.

[Plastikage]

brian may? wtf thats crazy haha

[rocknrolla12992]

ugh i want that classic custom.....

[maxmetal14]

lol the most brutal guitarist loves brian may

[PwnageLazyBoy]

how much is the guitar and what is the name of it because i want be as metal as you. :)

[alexdroogie100]

I know we are supposed to avoid not nice comments...but EMG's? REALLY??? No wonder Skwizgaar is more about speed than tone...otherwise a great looking axe, and I am ond of Explorers (but they GOTTA have PAF type pickups, no active anything ever for any reason, so it is written so it shall be!)

[AirgunAddict256]

@alexdroogie100 well i think there is a good amount of tone in Skwizgaar's solos but i really don't see what's wrong with EMGs. it's a personal preference thing i guess. i love EMGs. they can be very versatile if you know how to make em so.

the thing is they sound pretty robotic when played on a solid state. valve amps + EMGs kick ass though. it just depends on what you're trying to play, i guess. if you want thrash, go EMG. if you want soul, go with PAF style.

[FuckingHostileJG]

I just love that guy...and this guitar too;p

[danlash656]

the pick guard needs to be white to be skwiscars

[linzemol]

F*Guitar noise*k, I want that pickgaurd

[ItIshMehXD]

The Gibson explorer isn't like the ultimate metal guitar at all, no, it IS the ultimate metal guitar

[dimlightbulb10]

@ItIshMehXD if it had a satin neck and easier access to the upper frets, it would be

[starhawks1]

@ItIshMehXD i actually had one for a couple weeks and returned it...I really didn't care for it, the sustain wasn't that good and it would fret out

[wolfsbayne92]

@ItIshMehXD hell yeah, the explorer is my all time favorite guitar

[Pantera4Ever1]

@ItIshMehXD I can Think Of A Better One

[ItIshMehXD]

@Pantera4Ever1

Ibanez RG370DX with seymour duncan blackouts and original floyd rose? hell yeah

[xlr8r2010]

@ItIshMehXD The Jackson soloist SL1 is the ultimate metal guitar....Gibsons are good though.

[assphinktersaiswhat]

@xlr8r2010 i have to disagree...the SL1 Looks just like almost every other guitar of the Horizon (Ltd), RG (ibanez) shape, yes it has many other names but im keeping to those two.

the ultimate metal guitar has to be made out of 100% metal xD

[AnOddMusician]

@ItIshMehXD i love the explorer but i prefer guerilla guitars ;D

[EternalDiarrhea]

I thought he had tattoos for a second, then I realized it was arm hair.

[YoItsEmo]

Play your guitar and have fun. Lesson learned.

[guitardude901]

were can i found that guitar !! or the epiphone one ! I want it so bad !

[linzemol]

As I'm to young (No, I ain't a kid, I'm a teen) to get a real good job, I'm saving up for an epiphone explorer. But god, do I want that guitar..

[madmax18840]

@linzemol It's worth it.

[linzemol]

@madmax18840

The Epiphone or the one in the video?

[madmax18840]

@linzemol Just a standard Gibson one, I don't know about Epiphone ones. I have one with gold hardware and a wood finish. You can check it out on my page but I just play metal so I can't show you it's full range.

[linzemol]

@madmax18840

I only listen and play metal :P

[R1PD1O]

wtf is in the back round making that noise.

[brooklynstudio]

is it me or does brendon small look a lot like mike judge?

[D35t0y3r]

@thernuocker2 apparently their making a dethklok signature guitar

[iughi0]

i have a bc rich warlock metal master should i sell it and buy a gibson explorer ?

[chubbymosher700]

@iughi0 f*ck yeah dude!

[TTR666]

I got the same guitar, custom pickguard too and rod cover, its all shiney black like the whole guitar, and i put EMG's 81 and 85 in it :) and it has skull inlays :)

[UncomfortableSilence]

What Year is that Explorer?

[chubbymosher700]

i would give my right leg for that guitar....

[haropro2]

@chubbymosher700

I would give my left arm for it, oh.. wait...

[DHLonnie]

@chubbymosher700 Male musicians need all 5 limbs for inspiration

[arikess1]

@chubbymosher700 id give my left nut

[Crazymofoinamajikbox]

@arikess1 i'd give BOTH my nuts!!

[OutsideTha9]

Anyone know what synth he uses for Dethklok?

[urbanpsych0]

that looked like fricken Sheet metal for a pick guard.. that makes me want to make a pick guard out of sheet metal.. thats pretty brutal.

[Karrel458]

To say that he's the one doing the guitar in Dethklok, just that makes him a fucking badass guitarist!!

[ashdonman]

gibson ex's rule

[sXeSnowmansXe]

He's got an 89 in the bridge? That's pretty uncommon, but cool.

[ElJucifer]

So Skwisgar is Chris Amott and Toki is Mike Amott?

[karlosrolero]

ohhh fuck.... xD

[Chrisethanme]

Thumbs up if you think Brendon Small is the ultimate guitarist!

[Gummi0153]

56-10.. I thot he used 60-13

[superjesus117]

@Gummi0153

He does now.  this is older

[jctardiff1]

@Gummi0153 holy fuck where can you find strings that big

[Cerbera2022]

@Gummi0153 hahah dude i got 70-12. crazyyy stuff man

[Gummi0153]

@Cerbera2022 Thats a Bass guitar, right?

[Cerbera2022]

@Gummi0153 haha nope. its for my Jackson Rhoads. I use Ghs guitar boomers. its the set zakk wykde uses for really low stuff. really thick low end and really thin high end so u can get those harmonics.

[Gummi0153]

@Cerbera2022 Nice man, it would be awsome to check it out

[StaulkHolm]

i use an 85 in the bridge which isnt very typical and it sounds amazing. i like it better because the output is a little lower.

[tcbshaded39]

Anyone ever wonder what the hell Skwisgaar is always playing when he isn't plugged in or is just sitting around?

[Britton529]

@tcbshaded39 I'm not the only one huh? I wish that Brendan would publish all of it as closely as possible to what Skwisgaar is playing. Its probably revolutionary.
