The Gibson Explorer is an electric guitar characterised by its radical reverse body shape. Unlike most offset guitars, the Explorer's treble horn is longer than that on the bass side for more comfortable playing and easier access to the top registers of the fretboard.

Its futuristic looks and powerful Gibson tone have inspired many guitar greats to choose the Explorer as their instrument of choice, including Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters & Nirvana), James Hetfield (Metallica) and The Edge (U2).
Along with its siblings the Flying V and Firebird, the Gibson Explorer's iconic looks are perfect for the guitar player who wants premium build and tone quality but with a little uniqueness.
