    This is the real guitar design from 1958, Gibson pickups and parts, perfect balance, light weight, strumming arm rests super comfortable on top and the angle is perfect for string play, tone is blues and rock at it's finest, sustain is incredible, there is no upgrade needed on this guitar ever! The wood is excellent, you can float all the way to the top of the neck, and the neck is amazing to play on. I will keep this guitar for life and buy a second Explorer asap for safety. Try an Explorer and you will buy it on the spot!

    Does this have the slim taper neck?

    Does this have the slim taper neck?

    Neck Profile: “1958” Rounded C-profile. This neck is designed to replicate the feel of the original late-‘50s Gibson Explorers—chunky but comfortable for rhythm and lead playing alike.
