Here is a 1981 Gibson Explorer in a Flametop Cherry finish. It’s a limited edition, released alongside similar V2 and F2 versions, though less sculpted with a flat body, yet boasting an excellent finish. Despite its angular appearance, it balances and plays well. Explorers of this kind contributed to defining the now-famous sound of U-2. Initially designed in 1957, models like the Explorer, Flying V, and the rare Moderne have become collectibles. This particular example resides in its original rectangular hard case.
