Description
What makes this guitar special? Anyone who is a fan of Brendon Small, Dethklok, Metalocalypse, or Explorers probably already knows of this unique model, but for those who are unfamiliar, here you go. This guitar plays as awesome as it looks and sounds. The 1960’s SlimTaper D shape profile should be relatively familiar to Gibson and Epiphone players and easy enough to play for anyone looking to make the switch. It comes equipped with Gibson USA BurstBuckers 1 and 2 in the neck and bridge respectively which, in combination with the coil-tapping push/pull tone controls, have a wide expanse of solid tone. In addition, this is a Limited Edition and won’t be around for long, so don’t miss your chance to get a super clean and limited guitar with serious tone and character.
Condition: This Brendon Small Thunderhorse Explorer is in excellent shape overall and it shows. The original plastic is still on the pickguard. This guitar does have a few light surface scratches from minor playing, but otherwise is in fantastic shape. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should. The frets show only minimal wear and still have a lifetime left in them.
Body: Mahogany body with cream binding (top) in Silver Burst. 1-ply black pickguard, black trim rings, black switch tip and black speed knobs. Chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece.
Neck: 1960’s SlimTaper D profile mahogany neck and cream-bound phenolic fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. 24.75” scale length. 1.68” nut width. Grover Mini-Rotomatic tuning machines.
Electronics: Gibson USA BurstBucker 1 in the neck and Gibson USA BurstBucker 2 in the bridge. 3-way pickup selector. 2 volume (each w/ push/pull coil tap) and 1 master tone control.
Weight: 8 lbs 8 oz
Playability/Sound: The 1960’s SlimTaper D profile is extremely easy to move around. The combination of pickups and push/pull controls span a good dynamic range, all with great sounding tones.
Case: Includes Premium Fitted Custom Dethklok/Metalocalypse Gigbag
