The Gibson Holy Explorer ships w/Gibson 496R & 500T Humbuckers Satin Cherry Finish Gibson Tune-O-Matic and Mini Grover Tuners Read more

Product Description An enormously playful take on the seminal Explorer, the Holy Explorer from Gibson USA gives you all the meaty tone and speedy playability of the original model. Yet, while following the exact body lines of its iconic predecessor from the Modernistic Series of 1958, the solid mahogany body of this limited edition model is shot full of holes, creating both a lighter guitar and an interesting modification of the original Explorers resonant characteristics.

Cutouts in the solid mahogany body create both a lighter guitar and an interesting modification of an already striking design.

Distinctive "drooping" headstock with six-in-line Grover Mini tuners.

Mahogany body and neck Rosewood fingerboard 24-3/4" scale 22 jumbo frets Chrome hardware Grover Mini machine heads Corian nut and saddle 496R neck and 500T bridge pickups Set neck joint Tune-o-matic bridge

Sweet Little Rock and Roller The Explorer has always been a rocker, but the Holy Explorer jumps the X factor up a notch to crank out a contemporary descendant of the heavy rock sound. A pair of Gibson's own uncovered ceramic-magnet humbucking pickups--a 496R in the neck and a 500T in the bridge--maximize output and sustain while retaining clarity and string definition. Down to Business

The minimalist control array is designed to let you get right down to business. There's just a single volume control, positioned for easy pinky-finger volume swells, and a three-way pickup selector--nothing superfluous to get in the way of you and your tone. And playability, naturally, is flawless, on par with the Explorers famous high neck/body joint and easy access right up to the 22nd fret of the Holy Explorers fast, super comfortable 24 3/4-inch scale neck, which is also made from solid mahogany. Head over Heel The Holy Explorer also retains its ancestor's distinctive "drooping" headstock with six-in-line tuners, which in this case are Grover Mini tuners. The guitar is also fitted with a Corian nut and Gibson's traditional stop bar tailpiece and Tune-o-matic bridge, which keeps everything firmly anchored and ready to wail. From chunky rhythm work to screaming lead tones, the Holy Explorer is one unholy hell raiser of an offspring of the original Modernistic rocker. Each guitar comes with a customized Limited Run Series certificate of authenticity, and a black Gibson hardshell case with plush white interior and silkscreened Gibson USA logo.

No collector's item is complete without a customized Limited Run Series certificate of authenticity.
