Used 2020 Gibson Custom Shop Wildwood Spec 1958 Mahogany Explorer – VOS

Cooler Than the Other Side of the Pillow

Genius is rarely understood in its own time, so maybe that’s why it took guitar players twenty years to catch on to how cool Gibson Explorers are. Since Explorers are considered so iconic now, it’s hard to believe that they were a total flop when Gibson introduced them in 1958, but initial demand was so low that the first production run only consisted of thirty-eight guitars! Now that we guitar players have collectively figured out that playing an Explorer makes you look ten to twenty percent cooler than you actually are, the value of the original examples has skyrocketed, and their market value hovers around a quarter-million dollars.

Thankfully, you don’t need to mortgage your house to get your hands on one of these awesome vintage recreations from the Gibson Custom Shop! This Wildwood Spec edition features premium resonant tonewoods and the ever-beloved Wildwood Spec humbuckers to provide the ultimate vintage playing experience.
