Takes a classic and gives it a shot of adrenaline.
The Shred X Explorer is Gibson USA's Guitar of the Month for June 2008. The Gibson Explorer has long been a coveted workhorse guitar among the ranks of the world's finest hard rock and heavy metal players. Now, this Explorer guitar takes it up a notch, with a one piece mahogany body outfitted with black chrome hardware, and an Ebony finish.
A pair of EMG 85 pickups deliver the output needed for hard rock and metal, and a Kahler 2215K tremolo system ensures there will be no intonation or tuning issues when dive=bombing chords and notes. The neck is also one piece mahogany with Gibson's traditional '50s rounded profile, and ebony fingerboard with black acrylic dot fretboard inlays unique only to the Shred X guitar, and locking Grover tuners.
The toggle switch has been relocated to the position it occupies on the Explorers from the 1980s, allowing easier access to quick, pickup selection. The Shred X Explorer comes with a custom Gibson Guitar of the Month case. Production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
