In this Gibson Explorer comparison, Dinesh tries to answer the following questions: “Which Explorer guitar is best?” “What’s the most versatile Gibson Explorer?” and “Can the Explorer do more than just metal?”
Watch as Dinesh compares the Epiphone Explorer with the Epiphone Prophecy Extura Explorer, the Epiphone 1958 Explorer with the Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Korina Explorer, and the Gibson Explorer Custom with the 70s and 80s Explorer models.
You’ll learn about the history of the Gibson Explorer and how it was far ahead of its time when it was launched in 1958. Dinesh also dives into why the Explorer was embraced by heavy metal and rock players more readily than guitarists in other genres. Hint: the clue is in the midrange bite!
In this demo and Explorer comparison video you’ll also get to hear which Explorers have the hotter pickups, whether an Explorer is good for blues, jazz, and rock, and which Explorer guitar is the best for your own playing style. Spoiler alert: it depends how much punch you need from your pickups, where you prefer the guitar’s controls situated, and your preferred neck shape – SlimTaper or a fatter 50s profile.
If you've ever been intrigued by this iconic guitar and are wondering whether to buy one but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place. From vintage-inspired Korina models to modern variations on the theme, we’ll explore everything you need to know to find the Gibson Explorer that’s perfect for you.
