2016 Gibson Limited Edition 76 Explorer Natural
2016 Gibson Limited Edition 76 Explorer Natural
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the radical Explorer design, Gibson released a limited run reissue in 2016—and we’re thrilled to have one in stock. This example is super clean with no significant wear, and it's been freshly set up for top-notch playability right out of the case. Whether you're hitting the stage or tracking at home, this Explorer is ready to deliver crushing riffs and searing leads with style.
The all-mahogany body and set mahogany neck give this guitar a bold, resonant voice, while the rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays adds classic aesthetics and smooth playability. The ceramic 496R neck and 500T bridge humbuckers bring high output and bite—perfect for heavy rock, metal, and everything in between.
Control-wise, you've got the familiar Explorer layout: dual volume controls, a master tone, and a 3-way toggle switch for straightforward tonal shaping. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, and the Tune-o-Matic bridge with stop-bar tailpiece keeps things tight and resonant.
