Gibson Reverse Explorer – Limited “Guitar of the Month” Edition 2008

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This 2008 Gibson Reverse Explorer is a rare and collectible “Guitar of the Month” release, combining radical design with classic Gibson craftsmanship. Limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide, this eye-catching model flips the iconic Explorer shape, pairing a solid mahogany body with an ebony fretboard for tight articulation and rich sustain.

This particular example plays amazingly well!

Equipped with powerful '57 Classic humbuckers, this Reverse Explorer delivers vintage-inspired tone with a modern edge. With its unique silhouette, premium tonewoods, and limited-run status, it’s a must-have for collectors and players seeking a standout Gibson electric guitar.

The guitar is all original and has seen light use.  The electronics are untouched.  The frets are in excellent condition.  There are signs of use and light wear here and there to show that someone did play it.  The neck is straight, and we were able to get a killer setup done.  There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustment.

Shipping costs will be high as the case is very large.
