Description

It has travelled to stages around the world, but the 70s icon is back to explore a new generation of players. Featuring a pair of 70s Tribute humbuckers, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, this Explorer begs to be played loud. With its futuristic body shape, bound rosewood fingerboard, black Speed knobs, and chrome hardware, it looks as iconic as the generation of music it helped create.

The 1970s were an incredible time for music and all the different musical directions it went! A new breed of rock guitarists in that time were discovering the charms of the Explorer models, and how much it rocks.

The explorer is built with a bound Rosewood fingerboard, SlimTaper neck, and a pair of uncovered 70s Tribute humbuckers hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, this Explorer is set to nail all of the classic tones of the era. 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!

About the manufacturer

Gibson

Gibson has long stood as a symbol of American craftsmanship and musical heritage, shaping the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for over a century. Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, Gibson became legendary with instruments like the Les Paul, SG, and ES series, each known for their rich sustain, premium tonewoods, and iconic designs. The brand’s pioneering use of humbucker pickups and carved maple tops created the warm, powerful sound that defines countless classic recordings. Played by greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young, Gibson guitars continue to represent timeless quality, innovation, and a deep connection between player and instrument.

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.

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.
