Metal electric guitar
The GIBSON USA 80s Explorer (DSXE00EBCH1) continues the legacy of the original 1958 Explorer, a legendary solid body electric guitar.
Along with the Flying V, it is THE Gibson reference for Hard-Rock and Metal fans. Especially the 1984 model, released during the golden decade of this musical genre. The 80s Explorer is an attractive reinterpretation, for which new Gibson 80s Tribute pickups have been developed. Sold with Gibson hardshell case.CareThe nitrocellulose varnish, as on vintage Gibsons, plays an important role in the instrument's "breathing". Thanks to its porous nature, vibrations are not muffled by the lacquer.
On the other hand, this varnish can react chemically with the plastics and foams of certain stands, as well as with certain cleaning products that are too detergent. To avoid damaging your guitar, we recommend Hercules stands with specially formulated non-abrasive foams.
