Gibson Explorer in ebony, USED

This Gibson Explorer in ebony, modified with high-output EMG pickups, offers a powerful, modernised twist on Gibson's legendary design. With its angular, iconic body shape, the Explorer embodies a striking aesthetic that’s unmistakable. The solid mahogany construction provides a rich, resonant tone with plenty of sustain and warmth, while the sleek ebony finish enhances its stage presence. The set-in mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard make for smooth playability and an incredibly solid feel, perfect for both powerful riffs and quick lead work. 

The original pickups have been replaced with EMGs, known for their active, high-gain response. This mod transforms the Explorer into a beast suited for heavy rock and metal, delivering a powerful punch with tight bass response, razor-sharp highs, and a prominent midrange that cuts through the mix. These pickups are exceptionally responsive, making them perfect for aggressive playing styles, while their clarity also allows for impressive definition at high gain levels. 

The Explorer’s hardware is built for durability, with a Tune-o-Matic bridge that keeps tuning rock-solid and Grover tuners for stability during intensive playing. The sleek black finish, paired with the all-black EMGs, gives this Explorer a bold, all-black aesthetic that complements its heavy sound. For players seeking a high-performance instrument with the raw power and distinct visuals, the Explorer modded with EMG pickups is a standout choice.
