Description

This Explorer comes 20 years after the debut of the original design, and two years after Gibson reintroduced the model. This rock and roll machine features its original pickups designed by Bill Lawrence, who was famous for his pickup designs and worked at Gibson during the early 70s. It has some dings and finish wear, and a well-repaired headstock crack. Includes original hardshell case.

*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.
