Hi and thanks for checking out our Listing for
1980 Gibson Explorer E2
Electric Guitar – Refinished in Heritage Cherry
In near mint condition. The guitar has been refinished, please see the full description for all the details.
Supplied with:
Owner’s Manual
Gibson Hard Case
Original Gold hardware
One of the iconic guitars
from the 70's/80's. This guitar came out of the factory in 1980 and was
originally natural, but has been given a full makeover and is now finished in
cherry, with black hardware. The re-finish has had "no expenses
spared" and is a very professional display of excellent craftsmanship,
which I would suggest is better than Gibson could do themselves. The laquer
flow is glass like and the only blemish is where the old strap button was on
the back. Otherwise, it is perfect throughout.
The original Gold hardware
is included in the case and can be re-fitted by the new owner if desired,
however, the black hardware goes well with this finish.
Pickups are original with
1979 dates on the underside, the pots are original. The selector switch was
changed in keeping with the new black hardware (original switch included).
In all, thanks to the highly professional
refinish and setup, this is one of the best examples available on the market
today.
