2006 Gibson New Century Explorer Mirror!
Great stage guitar here! Here is a very cool Gibson Explorer from the Guitar of the Week series from 2006. Not many of these were made so you don't see them too often. This guitar features an all black body with a full-body mirror pickguard which looks awesome! The guitar also has an Ebony fingerboard, mirror truss rod cover, and mini grover tuners. The guitar plays easy and sounds great! It's in very good plus condition with only minor marks on the back but is otherwise very nice. The guitar comes with the original hardshell case.

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.
