Gibson Certified Vintage 1984 Explorer

This NOS 1984 Explorer™ was discovered in Gibson’s HQ Vault and bears its original, ultra-rare Blue Silverburst finish. Its many years in storage resulted in some light checking in the lacquer, but it is otherwise in like-new condition.

All hardware, parts, and electronics are original and unmodified. This Explorer is equipped with two Dirty Fingers™ humbucker™ pickups, an orange disc tone capacitor, and chrome hardware. The original black hardshell case with red interior is included.

Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting September 28, 2023.
