The Explorer™ was first introduced in 1958, and guitarists discovered its charms over the years. Rockers embraced its futuristic shape and powerful sound in the 1970s, but during the 80s, the model became popular and was adopted by some of the best musicians of the decade. The new 80s Explorer is based on the popular 1984 model. It features a fast-playing SlimTaper™ mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. The mahogany body with its iconic shape is equipped with new 80s Tribute pickups that accurately capture the unique sound of powerful tones and the rich sustain of models from that era. A hard case is also included.
