Gibson Explorer Classic White 2008 w/ Seymour Duncan Pickups

Gibson Explorer Classic White 2008 w/ Seymour Duncan Pickups

Gibson's Explorer, released in 1958 along with the Flying V, was a model that challenged any guitar design that existed before its introduction.More than 60 years later, it has firmly established itself in the guitar world as a standard shape used by artists of all genres around the world, including Metallica's James Hetfield.

The model that has arrived this time is the classic white color "Gibson Explorer", made in 2008.Weight is 3.84kg.

It has a mahogany body that has turned yellow due to aging, a 22F rosewood fingerboard, and a mahogany neck.Not only is it easy to play due to its thin C shape, but its unique shape has made it a favorite among many metal guitarists, making it a piece that stands out on stage.

The pickups have been replaced and are equipped with Seymour Duncan's "SH-1N" and "SH-5" sets (both made in 2008).The smooth and clear sound of the SH-1N can be used in a variety of genres.This is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular pickup models.On the other hand, "SH-5" has modern specs for hard rock/heavy metal.

The controls are very simple with 2 volume and tone.A rare piece that allows you to enjoy the classic Explorer sound, with a dark rosewood fingerboard that is rarely seen on current models, Grover mini pegs, and the classic Explorer sound.It was probably used on stage quite a bit, so there are a lot of scratches, chips, and stains on the whole, but this gives it a dignified appearance, and it has a very tasteful appearance.

The Explorer and Seymour Duncan pickups are a perfect combination, and I was left with a good impression of the drive sound, which had a pleasant sound for both riffs and solos.Of course, you can change it to whatever you like, or you could just shake it off and include EMG.A book that every rock guitarist should pick up.
