The aptly named Explorer is as modern today as it ever was. The Gibson USA Explorer preserves the progressive yet understated style of original with the unmistakable, Explorer-cut solid mahogany body and an Antique Natural finish reminiscent of the original Korina, as well as a solid mahogany set neck with Slim Taper profile, one-piece rosewood fingerboard, classic hardware set with chrome finish, and Burst Bucker 2 and Burst Bucker 3 humbucking pickups for more burst than your average ‘bucker.
