The iconic body shape and matching headstock, silver reflector knobs, and chrome hardware make this guitar ready to rock any arena stage.

Key Features

  • 70s Tribute Humbucking Pickups – The Gibson 70s Tribute pickups are built upon the “hotter” sounding pickups that Gibson released in the mid-70s. With lots of warm tone with an increased output, these pickups strike the amplifier with more force, and a stronger signal level so it can be driven into powerful overdrive easier, making the 70s Tribute perfect to nail the tones for drop tunings and hard rock.
  • Slim Taper Neck – Varying in thickness only about a tenth of an inch from the first fret out to the twelfth, the “slim-taper” neck is designed to promote high-speed playing.
  • Gibson Explorer Body Shape – Stand out from the crowd with such an iconic guitar!

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
