The neck and body of the '58 Reissue Explorer are made of Korina and glued with Hide Glue.

GIBSON 1958 Korina Explorer Reissue Natural White Pickguard 811111 Body

Custombucker pickups and a hand-wired circuit with "Phone Book" capacitors promise authentic vintage PAF sounds.

Custombucker Pickups and "Phone Book" Capacitors

As pickup for the 1958 Korina Explorer Reissue chooses the Gibson Custom Shop two Gibson Custombuckers. With unwaxed coils and the correct Alnico mix, the humbuckers deliver absolutely authentic Vintage sounds in PAF style, which with the airy response and a vocal midrange spectrum provide the optimal basis for creamy overdrive tones. But also in the clean channel the pickups convince with an excellent and warm sound. The pickups are controlled via a traditional 3-way circuit, which allows the precise adjustment of the sound with CTS Vintage taper pots and historically correct "Phone Book" capacitors.

Developed under the aegis of visionary Gibson president Ted McCarty, the duo of an aluminum stopbar tailpiece and ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge guarantees precise intonation and string action adjustment. At the typical hockeystick headstock, Kluson Style tuners with celluloid wings ensure high precision when tuning the electric guitar.
