The Epitome of Explorer Elegance

The Gibson Custom Explorer Custom offers a more refined take on the angular Kalamazoo icon. A mahogany body with multi-ply top binding immediately sets this guitar apart from a standard Explorer, offering a crisp contrast to the Les Paul Custom-inspired black-on-black finish. The ebony fingerboard’s mother-of-pearl block inlays continue this guitar’s “tuxedo” trend, supported by a slim and speedy Medium C-shaped mahogany neck. But for all its upscale accouterments, the Gibson Custom Explorer Custom is made to rock — 498T and 490R humbuckers put a breadth of PAF-inspired tones at your disposal, covering everything from ripping hard-rock riffage to more vintage-inspired textures. You also get a rock-solid hardware setup to ensure stage-ready performance, including a Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge, a stopbar tailpiece, and Grover tuners. Guitarists can confirm: Take the stage with the Gibson Custom Explorer, and you’ll command the eyes and ears of any audience.
