Just ordered an Explorer. Saw the article in Guitarist and lo and behold just found this. No one who has reviewed this guitar seems to have a bad word to say about it :). Now i'm sitting patiently for it's arrival. :)

My dream guitar since i was a kid has been a Korina explorer, and now its FINALLY attainable and im eagerly waiting for when i can click the order button!

Got mine ordered, due in July! And learning free bird solo to play on it! 👌

I love mine, I got it in the summer of 2023. It sounds great and plays great. Just need to be careful walking through the aisle ways with it since the back sticks out further than my other guitars. Also, the case is much larger than a standard Strat or Les Paul case, so prepare for extra storage space. Great Job by Epiphone and Gibson!

So sick, I want this in my collection

One great guitar is better than 10 average ones.

Great playing! Oh yeah the coolest guitar ever designed and created! What's not to love?

That's my favorite view of a guitars neck. Can see the "action."

I wanted this guitare in 1998 but i was a 16 yo kid and couldn't afford it. Now I still want this guitare and i'm 42 but still can't afford it dammit

I ordered the Explorer model here in Oz, $2600 AUS $ and that's the cheapest I found. My Gibson 2019 was cheaper? Anyway the supplier sent a V instead, they're looking into the screw up?

Lovely but I’m not sure if I can quite pull off the required on-stage swagger!

[Andithewicked]

thanks for this demo!!! You said the body is very light! Is there a neckdive?

[UntoldMizery]

This very guitar, and a Vox Ac4tv, going into a 2x12...
OMG. I can't explain it. Try it if you don't believe me. Something amazing happens every single time.

Explorers always look good at that camera angle.

[louissparks]

I like this one more that the V; it fits well over the thigh while playing seated.

Whilst it's good to hear solos played, I personally spend most of the time playing chords/riffs with a solo somewhere in the middle if I'm lucky! Can I suggest a bit more chordal work in these videos? I'm especially interested in how a guitar handles chord note separtion when a bit of gain is applied, for example...

Shiit, its only money. That baby sounds way above what it costs.

[Darrick-fd]

Many problems with Gibson style guitars....a few being neck dive, wieght, and fat neck shapes in my opinion.

[Darrick-fd]

Omg. non gloss finishes suck for several reasons.

[SinjaEs]

just overprized, i thought that this is gibsons territory only 🙄
