Gibson Explorer 76

Originally designed as a modern jazz guitar in the mid 50s, however it failed to make any great impressions among musicians. It wasn't until the early 70s that the Gibson Explorer made its real breakthrough with emerging hard rock. Consequently Gibson redesigned the 59 series and it was reintroduced in 1976.

The success was overwhelming. Guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd's Allen Collins, The Edge, and of course James Hetfield from Metallica made this unique guitar very popular. The warm biting sound coupled with nearly unbelievable penetration of this guitar is attributed to 1976 introduced mahogany body with set mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard.

Today and original 76 Explorer is worth well over half a million dollars, making it one of the highest demanded and expensive originals in the world.

The '76 Cherry presented here matches this constellation exactly. Classic mahogany selection, a 628 mm scale with dot inlays, mini grover mechanics, 1x Gibson 496R in the neck, and 1x Gibson 500T in the Bridge, Tune-o-matic Bridge and Stop-Bar Chrome-Hardware guarantees seemingly endless sustain, which is beaten only exclusively by other in-house premium models.

So whoever is looking for a rock n roll guitar with great hardware at fair price; should have a closer look at this guitar. The asymmetrical construction may be a question of taste, the sound surely is not. The Gibson Explorer 76 includes a high quality case and a 3 year guarantee.

Customer Reviews:

Where do I start with this one? This is the most comfortable guitar I have ever played by far, and having owned American Jacksons, Deans, Fenders, Ibanezes, and even a PRS, that is saying something. As far as sound, this guitar is extremely versatile. The 496R at the neck delivers a light bluesy tone, and the 500T at the bridge is very ...
