Up for sale is an all-original 2004 Gibson USA '76 Explorer in classic Ebony gloss nitrocellulose finish. Weighing in at a well-balanced 8.3 lbs, this guitar delivers the legendary resonance, extended sustain, and commanding stage presence the Explorer is famous for.

Built in Nashville, Tennessee, this '76 reissue pairs an all-mahogany slab body with a set mahogany neck featuring the comfortable 1959 rounded profile. It is loaded with its factory-original high-output ceramic magnet humbuckers—a 496R in the neck and a 500T in the bridge—delivering screaming top-end harmonics, thick midrange punch, and tight low-end bite engineered for rock and high-gain amps.

The neck is arrow-straight, the truss rod operates smoothly in both directions, and the original frets show minimal playwear with tons of life remaining. All electronics, controls, and solder joints are factory stock and operate cleanly without scratchy pot noise.
