Classic 70s Bite Meets Timeless Power
The Gibson 70s Explorer Dark Walnut captures the raw, unfiltered energy that fuelled a decade of hard rock and heavy riffs. Crafted from solid mahogany and finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, it delivers the deep, resonant tone that defined the era. A SlimTaper neck and rosewood fretboard provide effortless speed and comfort, while dual 70s Tribute humbuckers produce the fat, punchy sound that cuts through any mix. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, an aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure stability and sustain. With its angular body shape, white pickguard, black Speed knobs, and chrome hardware, it’s as striking as the music it helped create.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Gibson 70s Explorer Dark Walnut perfectly revives the swagger and tone of a rock icon for players ready to make their mark.
