Here is a 1980 Gibson Explorer with a Natural Wood finish. It’s a limited edition, released alongside the similar V2 and F2 models, though less sculpted with a flat body, yet boasting an impressive natural finish. Despite its angular appearance, it is well-balanced and plays smoothly. Explorers of this kind have contributed to the distinctive sound of U2. First designed in 1957, the Explorer, along with the Flying V and the rare Moderne, has become a collectible guitar. This particular example resides in its original rectangular hard case. Its a heavy one coming in weighing approx 10 lbs 6.5oz. Electrics work fine and pots dating 1979/80, 5-Piece laminated neck, Ebony fingerboard. Overall the guitar is in really great shape, especially for its age. There is a bunch of play wear round the body and some buckle rash on the back.
