Gibson E2 Explorer Natural 1980 w/OHSC
Regular price
$4,199.99
Vintage Gibson E2 Explorer in Natural finish made in 1980 with Original Hard Shell Case. This guitar features a solid 5-piece walnut/maple body, 5-piece walnut/maple neck and ebony fingerboard. Equipped with its original set of Gibson Dirty Fingers humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Controlled by 2 volume pots, 1 tone pot and a 3-way toggle switch comprised of its original CTS pots dating to 1980. The 24.75" scale length neck has mother of pearl dot inlays and white side markers with 22 medium jumbo frets on a 12" radius with a profile. The hardware is comprised of gold Gibson sealed die-cast tuning machines with cloche heads, a brass nut, a Schaller-made Gibson Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge w/ TP-6 tailpiece and black speed knobs with a 5-ply black on white pickguard.
This guitar is in overall good condition. There are dents, dings, and light scratches throughout the guitar. The lower bout has discoloration and finish chips on the corner. The back has some hazy finish, belt rash and some wear on the carve. The upper strap button was relocated to the back of the body at some point in its life but was moved back to the original position and the new hole was filled. There is wear and oxidization on the gold plating on the hardware. The knobs have yellowed over time. One of the case latches is broken off; the other is functional but needs to be manually closed. (See Pics)
Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Original Hard Shell Case.
