Description

This 1983 Gibson Custom Shop '58 Korina Explorer is an early example of the Gibson Custom Shop's ability to build incredible instruments. The Korina body and neck bring a vintage-inspired foundation to this Custom Shop recreation, complemented by a rosewood fingerboard and classic Explorer appointments. Dual humbuckers deliver the thick, powerful voice expected from this design, with plenty of sustain and bite for everything from driving rhythm work to cutting lead tones. The Classic presentation gives this example a distinctive look while retaining the bold proportions and character of the original late-'50sExplorer.

Includes OHSC.
