Todays Vintage Guitar Spotlight 1979 Gibson Explorer E2

I purchased a nice 1979 Gibson Explorer E2 today..It's in near mint condition and belonged to a soldier named Michael who is about to be deployed in Iraq. He mentioned that he is involved with computers and wouldn't see any active combat. Good luck and be safe Michael Here's a pic of the guitar. I'll post a high res image later on when I have the time to take some pics.

Gibson made about forty of the original Explorers in 1958/1959. Some actually shipped in 1963 as well. I guess Gibson had some leftovers that were unsold. The original Explorer featured two humbucking pickups and were made from Korina wood. An original near mint example will bring around $350,000-500,000 in today's market. Have fun! Bob Feldman
