Made in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, the Epiphone 1958 Korina Explorer is an impressive recreation of the vintage Explorers sought after by players and collectors. As you'd expect, this guitar has authentic 58 Explorer details like the original Gibson models — solid, lightweight Korina neck and body, long neck tenon, and 1958 Flying V neck profile. It also features an Indian Laurel fingerboard and gold hardware.
The electronics are also top notch—this guitar is equipped with Gibson Burstbucker 2 and BurstBucker 3 pickups for the classic, ballsy Gibson tone we all know and love. Each pickup is wired with individual volume and master tone controls with CTS pots and Mallory capacitors. Overall, this is one killer guitar (and it's quickly become a staff favorite here at the shop—and it weighs 6lbs 11oz!). A hardshell case is also included.
