Gibson Explorer Re-issue Ebony (1992)

Description: Hello, I will support your music life from Japan.I will do my utmost for the service you satisfy. Item Description Gibson Explorer Re-issue Ebony (1992) The "Explorer" was born in 1958 with the Flying V, and although its overly modern look did not catch on at the time of production, it is now one of the brand's most representative guitars and is firmly supported as the standard for modified guitars. This device was manufactured in 1992, and is the model that is the basis of the "Explorer '76" currently on the market. If you look at the catalog from that time, the product number will say (1958 Original Styling). There are similar descriptions in the body and pickguard columns, but the specifications are close to the "Explorer" reproduced in 1976. Perhaps, after various trials and errors (minor changes) in the 1980s, they named it ``1958 Original Styling'' with the feeling of ``returning to the basics once again.'' (This is just my personal prediction.) However) The body and neck are made entirely of mahogany, with a classic finish combined with a rosewood fingerboard. You might think it would be difficult to play because of the large body, but it has surprisingly good balance when held, and when you place your elbow on the cutaway on the end side, it is fixed and easy to play, and the neck shape is also slim taper. Because it uses , playability is good! Well, the biggest thing is definitely the hard shell case that stores this guitar (lol) The pickup uses a combination of "496R" and "500T", which is known as the highest gain among Gibson's originals.The catalog says "TM496RDB" and "TM500TDB", but they are thought to be the same. , it outputs high-power sound that won't disappoint. The escutcheon was damaged so it was replaced, the bridge was replaced with a Goto one when it arrived, and there are signs that the pegs were also replaced with new ones (GROVER). [From the catalog at the time] Production was discontinued once because it was too radical and ahead of its time. After 20 years, Gibson's originality, which was entrusted to the phantom Korina model, has blossomed beautifully through artists who have broken out of their shells using rock as a new means of expression. And now, the ideas of Gibson's predecessors are creating a new rock scene, along with the dreams of many guitarists. [The above is from the catalog at the time] It's a little different from Gibson's typical sound (lol), but unlike today's modern guitars, you can feel the warmth and softness even though it's powerful, and it's full of charm that only the Explorer can bring out! [Condition] There are multiple small scratches, scratches, and weather checking overall, and paint cracking at the border between the fingerboard and neck, around the pot, around the strap pin, etc., and uneven paint (melting?) on the body and sides and back of the neck. Although there are some marks and damage appropriate to its age, there is no major damage and the playing condition is good. About 70% of the frets remain (already adjusted), and the rod tightening direction is close to the limit, but the neck is currently straight. As mentioned above, this is a rare model that was the basis of the "Explorer '76" and had a short production period of about two years.If you are interested, please take this opportunity to consider it. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- The description is as detailed as possible,Due to the nature of the product, notation of all states may be difficult.For those who want to check severely, and those who want to know more detailed conditionsPlease make sure to contact us in advance before purchasing.
