These early Explorers are getting hard to find. Original 'natural' finish, came to me with non original pickups which I replaced with an original '80s neck PAF from my old Gibson Explorer and a BurstBucker Pro at the bridge, worked out very well. The original lightweight stop/tail and TRC are included. Super lightweight, surprisingly comfortable to play and definitely the most resonant guitar I own. It plays and sounds great, a few knocks and scrapes - the lacquer has cracked around the neck joint but it is totally sound. If you've never tried an Explorer, you're missing out - now one of my firm favourites, have gigged it several times, I am what might be described as a mature in years blues player (these were used by a few old time blues players, they're not just for metal fans). Comes with a nearly new top quality 'Epiphone' explorer hard shell case (perfect fit).

I am lucky enough to have two of these, I'm keeping the one thats 100% stock with its original case, unless you have a much bigger budget.
I'm valuing this at ?475 with the case + used value of the p/ups, or you can put your own pickups in? + UK shipping at cost.
