Gibson Custom 1958 Explorer Mahogany Lightly Aged

Historically accurate reproduction of a 1958 Gibson Explorer, with mahogany replacing the original korina for the body and neck. The guitar is hand-finished in VOS (Vintage Original Spec) to give the look of a new guitar, some decades old, that has been stored and played very little.

The Explorer’s shape was a wildly original futuristic shape with heavy, resonant tone that is both iconic in the world of rock and blues today. From its arrowpoint headstock to its dual volume and single tone controls to its vintage tulip tuners and Holly headstock veneer to its exclusive “V” tailpiece, the Flying V is a craft that fully appears to have blasted its way forward from half a century ago.
