The Gibson Explorer Custom With Bound Head (Veneer Ebony) reimagines the iconic Explorer silhouette with premium Custom Shop appointments and traditional construction. Multi-ply binding, pearl inlays and gold hardware bring an upscale aesthetic to the angular body shape, while the solid ebony fingerboard delivers enhanced sustain and precise note articulation. Built from solid mahogany for both body and neck, this 6-string electric guitar maintains the instantly-recognizable voice Gibson established decades ago, now elevated through the Custom Shop's exacting build standards and attention to period-correct detail.
The 22-fret ebony fingerboard features medium jumbo frets and a Corian nut, providing consistent string spacing and stable tuning across the neck. A Tune-O-Matic bridge allows precise intonation adjustment and maximises string-to-body contact for optimal resonance and sustain. Gold hardware complements the ebony finish throughout, from the tuners to the bridge and tailpiece. The solid mahogany construction delivers warm midrange character and natural compression, while the bound headstock with veneer ebony finish mirrors the body's premium aesthetic. Ships with a Custom Shop hardshell case included.
