When Gibson unveiled the original Explorer at the 1958 NAMM show, the world wasn't quite prepared for the unique design created by Ted McCarty and his team. The X-plorer New Century features updated aesthetics for the new millennium in the form of a full-body mirrored pickguard on top of an ebony finish. Tonally, the mahogany body and neck with an ebony fingerboard provide tons of body. Electronically, the X-plorer sports a pair of ceramic magnet humbuckers, two volume controls, and a single tone control.
