Today we are unboxing A "Brand New" condition 1976 Gibson Limited Edition Explorer that still has its original shipping carton, plastic on the pickguard, case candy and is in really stellar condition outside of an area on the neck where it has rested against the case for the past half decade. 1976 was a big year for the explorer! It was the first time it was reissued since its introduction in the late 50s - but this time, it was back for good! The "Limited Edition" ones are sought after collector's pieces and The Edge of U2 has made them even more popular. Finding these in non-repaired, all-original condition is a real treat... let alone one like this!
