Description

This Explorer is a remarkably good early-2000s ’58 Korina reissue. Presented in mint condition, it features a beautiful korina body and neck paired with a gorgeous rosewood fingerboard.

The neck carve is an excellent take on a true ’58 spec — full in hand yet still effortless to navigate. Tonally, it is clear, resonant, and wide open across both pickups, with the ’57 Classics delivering an outstanding PAF-style voice full of warmth, articulation, and dynamic response.

All in all, this Korina Explorer is a true standout: perfect for a collector and an absolute treat for any player. Comes with the original hard-shell case (OHSC) and the original Gibson Custom, Art & Historic certificate of authenticity (COA).
