Guitar Gear

Sorry, this item has been sold…

Bought this guitar a few years ago for my son who ended up not playing guitar, so I started using it instead. Guitar has been occasionally gigged, but has mostly stayed in my smoke-free home studio. I even used it on my first album a few years ago, and it’s a great rock guitar! Plays and sounds great, the neck is straight and the action is low. No glaring dings except for the top of the headstock that is shown in the picture below. I got it this way from the original owner. Very light scratches on the back that don’t get picked up easily by a photo, but more importantly, there is no buckle rash. Frets are in great condition, with lots of life left in them. Selling it because I need to thin my stock, and I’m almost exclusively playing my Les Pauls and Strat, so my other guitars have to go.

Here are features of the guitar:

Alnico Classic humbuckers
Alder body with Korina veneers
Set Mahogany neck with SlimTaper “D” profile
Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays
12″ fingerboard radius
Explorer-style headstock
LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece
Single-ply white pickguard
Amber speed knobs
Gold hardware
14:1 ratio die-cast tuners
2 Vol. 1 Tone
3-way selector switch (I replaced the original plastic switch with a gold metal switch. Looks better and is much more sturdy)
24.75″ scale
1.68″ nut width

Guitar comes with a Gibson Explorer coffin case that’s in great condition, though there are a couple of dings on it, but nothing significant. I’ve seen these in not as good condition going for $400 and up, with no case. All in all this a very nice guitar, and I’m hoping that it finds a good home!

Here are more pictures I took of the guitar (included is a picture of the back of the headstock so you can verify the serial number):
