Gibson Reverse Explorer Antique Walnut Electric Guitar
Price per Unit (piece):
$1,999.00
The limited edition Reverse Explorer Gibson USA's Guitar of the Month
for September 2008 is a guitar ready for the 21st century. Last year's
Reverse Flying V triggered an unprecedented response from both players
and collectors. Once again, the engineers at Gibson USA have flipped
the body of one of their most iconic guitars, and the result is
stunning.
The Reverse Explorer's one-piece mahogany body is
now inverted so that the small horn is on the upper bass-side bout
extending upward, while the larger horn is now positioned on the lower
treble-side bout, pointing downward. Highlighting the unique body
outline is a carbon fiber pickguard shaped like a lightning bolt,
extending the entire length of the body. The neck is a hybrid between
Gibson's standard '50s rounded contour and its '60s slim-taper profile,
topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with carbon fiber inlays at
the fifth and 12th fret.
The Reverse Explorer also sports the
rare, art deco-style Gibson logo found among old drawings belonging to
Gibson President Ted McCarty. The headstock is a McCarty era-inspired
shape, equipped with Steinberger Gearless Tuners for unparalleled
tuning accuracy. In the neck position is Gibson's '57 Classic with a
'57 Classic Plus in the bridge. The pole pieces for both pickups are
concealed by pickup covers that are copper-plated and powder-coated,
designed just for the Reverse Explorer. The rest of the guitar's
hardware is gold-plated. The Reverse Explorer from Gibson USA comes
only in an Antique Walnut finish, and comes housed in a custom Guitar
of the Month case. Like all Guitars of the Month, production is limited
to just 1,000 guitars.
