Here is a great example of a Gibson Explorer that's ready to go on tour. This Explorer has a bold tone with a lot of sustain and presence. The 496 pickups are fairly hot but clean up nicely when needed. The action is low and the neck plays fast. Included is a very tough SKB case with heavy duty latches.
Condition is excellent++. Since it's black and nitro, it will show every little mark. With that said, this guitar is in really nice condition. There are no dings, chips, or scratches on the pointy areas of the body (a common area for damage in Explorers) or the headstock. You will find some very light/shallow marks and scratches from handling and playing, but no damage from neglect or abuse. The frets show no significant wear and all electronics work as expected.
