History: I've been playin guitar for about 6 years and hopefully will do for many years... I love to play Rock, Blues with a side of Metal and this guitar does all!
Purchase: I got my Explorer in Dublin, Ireland in a shop called perfect pitch. It was E1,300 but I got it for 1,200. I played a Dean ML DBDT for about 2 years and felt it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do.The ML was all for Metal music and i needed an all-rounder, so the Explorer was the way to go.
What I Like About This Unit: My Explorer is in the Gibson Cherry Red finish and it looks fantastic! It is more than a guitar, it's a piece of art. It can play just about any style of music, it can give soft,heavenly, mellow tones and then tones that rip your face off!
What I Do NOT Like About The Gibson Explorer 1976 Reissue: Em.... there is nothing realy. All I can say is watch the pointy bits, it has a huge body and it is very easy to bang it off something... all in all, no hates..
Explorer 1976 Reissue Quality: Its a Gibson! That says it all! Its made of a solid slab of mahogany that gives it great tone and the pick-ups are Gibson aswell so no problem there. Very good quality all round..
Summary: I highly, highly recommend, if you want to play different styles, to buy this guitar. It rocks!!!
