Are Gibson Explorer good?
2020 Natural Explorer Rocks! I've spent a full month playing this Gibson Explorer as my main guitar and will tell you that the quality is better than I've seen in 20 years. This is a great workhorse guitar made to play hard and rough; I don't baby my guitars, I bend fast and hard and hit chords hard at times.
