The Gibson 70s Explorer gives mahogany a distinct rock voice
The Gibson 70s Explorer Dark Walnut immediately grabs your attention, but this solidbody is more than just a recognizable silhouette. The mahogany body is finished with Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, a shiny finish that lets the dark look speak for itself. The set mahogany neck and the striking Explorer shape give the guitar a solid foundation for players who like to stand on stage with character.
Two 70s Tribute humbuckers provide a full, direct sound with a firm midrange and enough definition to keep your parts clear in the mix. With two volume controls, a tone control, and the pickup selector, you can quickly tune the balance to your amplifier and playing style. The electronics are hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, a detail that fits the classic approach of this model.
The mahogany neck has a Slim Taper profile and a scale length of 24.75 inches. On the rosewood fretboard, you will find 22 medium jumbo frets, acrylic dot inlays, and a 12-inch radius. The Graph Tech nut is 43.05 mm wide. This gives you a familiar playing layout, whether you are strumming firm chords or running riffs up and down the neck.
The aluminum Nashville Tune-o-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar together form a solid string anchor. Chrome-colored hardware, black speed knobs, a white three-ply pickguard, and a cream-colored switch tip complete the finish. The Explorer comes with a hardshell case and strings in gauges .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, and .046. Model number DSXS007WCH1. A distinct Gibson for guitarists who want to make their sound just as recognizable as their instrument.
