Guitar Additional Info


Description
The Explorer gets the TV treatment! Gibson's famous "TV Model" Les Pauls of the 1950s featured gorgeous limed mahogany finishes and were popular around the same time as the development of radical new "modernistic" guitars like the Explorer model.

However, the Explorers were made of Korina wood, so Gibson never played with the finish options...until now.

Presenting the limited-edition Explorer Mahogany TV series, featuring '58-spec construction and appointments and bodies made from solid Mahogany, which is sonically very similar to Korina.

The finish options include classics like TV White, TV Yellow and exciting new TV colors -- TV Black Gold and TV Black Silver.
Hand-drawn tattoo flash and a worn-in classic vibe make this 1959-spec ES-335 a playable, fun work of art.

The two-tone transparent gray and black finish sets off the beautiful red rose, and no two are alike.

Under the hood, this of this well-loved rockabilly rocker features all the Historic 1959 construction and specs to make it feel, play, and sound as authentic and vibey as it looks!
