Epiphone Explorer

A fantastic guitar. Seriously. The build is just awesome, it's nice and shiny, it's easy to get to the higher frets and the appearance is just fantastic.

Granted, the sound is a bit dark. It's a real rhythm guitar (also James Hetfield (Metallica) was one of the reasons I bought this guitar). I'm very very happy to own one and I never regretted it. I've loved this guitar every since.

Though the pickups and the bridge tend to oxidate a bit(I dunno if that's the right word for) and it easily gets a bit dirty. So if you want to keep it nice 'n' shiny, you have to clean it every three weeks or so. BUT! That's no reason to not buy this guitar.

The neck is thin, it's beautiful to look at, it's easy to play (although I had to get used to it after my crappy beginner strat) but the sound is amazing.

All in all obe of the best things I ever bought.

(This is only areview of the gt version by Epiphone all the other explorers i have played are good but i thought i would write about the one i own)over all a geat guitar that playes and sounds great and is suited to alot of styles.It only has 1 problem and that is the volume control position is in the way at times but it is still mad good.The kill pot iS very good because yUu can get a good efect from it i would have liked to see it on another colour but that is a small complaint it is about substance over style and it has the substance

the epiphone explorer is a very good guitar according to the price , very nice sound

This guitar looks quality, it can sometimes be uncomfortable to play but it's still amazing.

First off, whole thing is "finishing" of that guitar, very top level, hardly spotted on the others companys stuff/even in that level of £ Neck amazing, fast playing just sliding! Body...well you choose that shape :) rockin! Sound and sustain: I am not overreacting, eventually you'll be able to play it for all kind of music, I am now playing in jazz band, and my mates still thinking i get hammered before i bought that ;) but when they hear it's sound, they dont mind! Neck, needs to be explained: very nice, slim and tidy, good for me (good for me, because am rockin over 16 years now). It is not a first guitar! Will make you lazy and arrogant! Will help you build a self-confidence of being good, when jumping on chunky stuff, with bald frets for around 30 £ will make u speachless! It's a proffessional axe, for those who'v been on chip for years :). Go for it, it's rockin!

The Epiphone Explorer has an awesome shape, sound, and basically everything. Very nice guitar, Epiphone are great.

This guitar rocks! I've owned Gibson's but now have the Epi Explorer, Firebird Vii and LP standard, all for the price of 1 Gibson. They are all quality guitars. If you need that Gibson logo on to be happy, it's your $ dude!

Epiphone Explorer has an amazing action, the neck is so smooth and thin, real shredder, easy to get to the top frets, looks amazing. Best guitar I have ever owned and maybe played. I recommend one!!!! HIGHLY!!! they play amazingly and it looks nice!!! A bit heavy because of the thickness, but still not too heavy, that's about it. BUT like every guitar you should TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.

Epiphone Explorer is a great guitar so I give it an overall rating of 8. It feels great to play after having a baby squier strat for a year. It has a really rich sound and you can use it for any kind of music. I usually use the selector switch to turn the guitar down because when you have volume one turned right down and push the selector switch up you're done. I'm very choosy about the sound I get from a guitar so thats another reason why I like it, and it goes well with your marshall mg 250 dfx. It was only 350 quid so its worth the money you pay for it.

The Epiphone Explorer is a very good guitar. For those who cant afford the Gibson, I suggest this. Its a decent guitar for anybody intermediate or expert. Beginners, stick with your strats and Lego (joke), no seriously; this guitar is perfect for any level. Personally, I would not consider this a first guitar. So if your looking to buy, just close the page and go to starter kits.
