MY Favorite Weapon

You can get the sweetest tones out from a Gibson explorer. I have been using this baby for 5 years and it is my favorite guitar by far. The clean is very nice when switching to bridge pick up. When you kick in that crunch pedal, all hell will break loose. Play all your favorite metal/rock riffs and rip your neighbor's ears off! The feel of this guitar is what I cannot get over. The paint finish is very smooth making the neck for easy sliding. The fret is made with precision and it is everything you expect from a Gibson. This is a great guitar.

Good Guitar

I recently bought this guitar from guitar center and I couldnt be more pleased with it. The pinch harmonics that come out of this guitar are amazing! I run it through a marshall cab and crate head and it is the perfect match. This guitar is very versatile it sounds great with metal or jazz. The neck finish perfectly matches the body. The cherry finish is breath taking. I like everything about this guitar.

I wan't an Explorer!

I purchased my first Gibson Explorer in 1978, It was a natural mahogany with gold hardware. It playede everything from Blues to Jazz to Heavy Metal. Stayed in tune always and NEVER let me down. Due to unfortunate circumstances we parted ways. I recently test drove a brand new explorer at GC here in Chicago and let me say that is is every bit as nice as my 78. I plan to purchase one as soon as tax returns come in. Clayton

X-plorer

It was either this or the SG, but i like the explorer more because of the sound and the balance. The neck doesnt hang low like my BC Rich which is awesome and i dont have to tune very often. Stock pickups are pretty good and i love how durable it is. I've already banged it on the wall a couple times on accident and so far nothing chip or scratched unlike my BC Rich. You should buy this guitar now or your not considered a human being!!!

Best guitar ever!

The Gibson Explorer is the most durable, coolest looking, and great playing guitars. If u think its heavy, go to the gym. This guitar is awsome for thrash metal and hard rock. And is great with everything else.

Explorer!!

Okay, so I saved up for my whole summer for a Gibson Explorer, which I had my eyes set on for so long. I'm a fan of Coheed, so if you like to play that, this guitar is perfect for that. It has great balance, it is feels amazing. It feels sturdy, and you know you can rely on it. The frets are amazing, and you can get some tones from all kinds of music. (Coheed!) Plus, the hard case it comes with is killer. If Armageddon happened, only two things would survive, the cockroaches, and the Explorer. Woo!The only downfall is that it doesn't stay in tune very well, if you bend a lot, but that can be fixed. Any potential buyers of the Explorer, I say go for it. It definately is a big upgrade from the Jackson Kelly. (No offense, Kelly.) (: Enjoy!

Gibson makes beautiful guitars and this one is no exception, this guitar screams and wails more than my other guitars ever could. Plus i feel so 80's metal playing it. If your looking for balls on a guitar look no further

Great guitar for rock mucicans

The this was one of my first guitars and probaly one of my most liked as well as most used. This guitar can let out some great tones. It's durable and i think it can even raval a les paul......... I have both and the les paul is awsome but it can get old kind of fast. Everyone has one! However the Explorer is always loved by crowds.
