Our Take:
Epiphone’s new Explorer resurrects the striking 1958 Gibson classic for the modern era as part of its Inspired by Gibson Collection. If you’ve always wanted to wield this sharp-angled axe, now’s your chance – it utilizes two Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers with CTS electronics, an all-Mahogany body with a sleek gloss Ebony finish, and it won’t break the bank!
Epiphone’s Take:
The Epiphone Explorer from the Inspired by Gibson Collection recreates the ultra-rare classic from 1958. Featuring a Mahogany body in a gloss Ebony finish, Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers with CTS electronics, and Grover® tuners.
