Gibson '76 Explorer, or X-Plorer, as it's sometimes known, ebony finish, made in USA 2008. This, friends, is not for jazz. It's not for ambient indie or alt-country. It's for rock and roll, plain and simple. It feels awesome in the hands: well weighted and balanced, resonant, well put together and finished with an intuitive, not-quite-slim neck profile. The 'Dirty Fingers' pickups are a wild mood: heaps of output, thick and juicy natural bass, sharp and defined highs and a mile-thick midrange with plenty of natural compression and heft. It's one of those guitars that'll have you practising your power pose, laughing with glee and trying to think of the funniest things that guy from The Hives said about how much he rocks. Makes your life better!
