Up for sale is a fantastic 2008 Gibson Explorer Faded in Worn Cherry. Made in the USA, this guitar combines iconic offset styling with a stripped-back, worn-in feel that plays as fast as it looks.

Thanks to the ultra-thin faded nitrocellulose finish, the solid mahogany body breathes freely, resulting in incredible natural resonance and sustain. The raw finish on the back of the neck gives it a fast, slick feel with zero stickiness.

Equipped with Gibson's high-output 496R and 500T ceramic humbuckers, this Explorer delivers huge, aggressive humbucker tones with exceptional clarity and bite—perfect for hard rock, classic rock, and heavy metal.

Key Features:

• Solid Mahogany Body & Neck: Warm, resonant tone with endless sustain.

• Faded Nitro Finish: Offers a comfortable, broken-in feel straight away.

• High-Output Ceramic Pickups: The 496R (neck) and 500T (bridge) combo delivers scorching hot leads and thick, crunchy rhythms.

• Grover Tuners & Tune-O-Matic Bridge: Rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation.

Condition & Setup:

• Electronics: 100% fully functional. Pots and switch work cleanly without crackle.

• Frets: Plenty of life left with minimal wear.

• Cosmetics: Gently played with some playwear consistent with a faded finish, adding to its vintage character. No cracks or headstock repairs.

• Includes: Original hard case included.
