Description

This 1983 Gibson Heritage Explorer presents a striking Ebony finish that compliments its angular lines with understated confidence. Its Tim Shaw humbuckers deliver the bold, open voice these early-’80s builds are known for, perfect for the high-gain rock of the era. It remains all original with mild player wear and some patina on the hardware to note. A notable example from a short-lived run, it brings together an uncommon aesthetic with the feel of a seasoned instrument.

Includes OHSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
