X-Plorer

From 1958 to 1963 Gibson introduced a barrage of bold new guitar designs. In 2003 these angular, modernistic models were reborn as the X-Factor series. Today's X-Plorer revives the first reissue of 1976, celebrated for its aggressive styling and powerful sound. The impressive appearance is complemented by two screaming ceramic pickups--the Gibson 496R "Hot Ceramic" in the neck position and the 500T "Super Ceramic" in the bass.
