Wow! This uber-rare white 1982 Gibson Explorer E/2 checks all the cool boxes. Only produced for four years, the Gibson Explorer II, also called the E2, was intended to serve as an update to the original Gibson Explorer. A few key differences that set the E2 apart included a five-piece maple or maple/walnut body that was contoured and sported beveled edges, as well as a few cosmetic appointments for differentiation. This E/2 is in overall good condition for a 40-year-old guitar that has spent most of its life in a case. There is some finish checking here and there, with most being where the binding, nut, and headstock meet. The neck is a fat 50’s so not for the smaller hands. The action is very nice, and it almost plays “Rock You Like a Hurricane” by itself. This E/2 isn’t light, so you’ll need to pump some iron before rocking out. It’s an honest guitar with all its original parts, including its Dirty Fingers pickups. Check it out here.
