Amazing shape and played by Metallica but it's big. Amazing, just the best and very cheap in Custom Amplifacation in Crewe £799

its an explorer, not a jazz sounding guitar, rock, blues, metal, not many guitar player play em, but most have one, Van Halen to the edge, Jacobs, ZZtop Chaep Trick, Iron Maiden, and so on. Other companys just copy this guitar, like the Dime, Ibanez, Dean, Washburn, Esp, Gibson is the real deal. Made in the usa. I bought mine at gituar center right off the wall, put on a fresh set of 10, no major set up required, a little truss rod and bridge heigh for my preference. A little darker sounding then my Les Paul standard, lots of sustain, harmonics. I would get another if taken from me.

The Gibson Explorer has everything from famous and exciting design to great playability and sound!

I'm glad to be able to give comments on Gibson and Epiphone Explorers, because my brother uses a Gibson Explorer Gothic and I own an Epiphone in pitch black with Floyd Rose Tremolo. Both guitars are really something that can make your pulse go up.

As you can read in my review of the Epiphone Explorer I must say that there are only small differences. Just compare for yourself and think of the value for money.
