Channel the raw energy of a legendary decade with the Gibson '70s Explorer – a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic guitars in rock history. Now available at World of Music, this electric guitar brings the bold looks, blistering tone, and uncompromising attitude that defined a generation.
Whether you’re a collector, a touring guitarist, or simply a fan of Gibson’s bold design language, the '70s Explorer delivers unmatched style and sound.
Classic Explorer Design, Vintage Vibe
First introduced in the late '50s and revived in the 1970s, the Gibson Explorer became a staple for hard rock and heavy metal guitarists. The '70s Explorer captures that same spirit with a mahogany body, set neck construction, and a fast SlimTaper neck profile – perfect for high-speed soloing and aggressive riffing.
The angular body shape isn’t just for show – it provides excellent balance and upper fret access, making it as comfortable to play as it is striking to look at.
Burstbuckers for Classic Tone
Loaded with a pair of Gibson Burstbucker 2 and 3 pickups, the '70s Explorer delivers rich, vintage-inspired humbucker tone with plenty of bite and clarity. Whether you're pushing a tube amp into saturation or dialing in clean bluesy tones, these pickups capture the essence of Gibson’s golden era.
Expect tight lows, cutting mids, and sizzling highs – a versatile sound that excels across rock, blues, and metal genres.
