Own a masterfully curated piece of historic guitar craftsmanship. Born from an exclusive collaboration between Sweetwater’s guitar experts and the master artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, this limited-run Dealer Select 1958 Korina Explorer delivers a personalized touch that off-the-shelf production models simply cannot match.
While the initial 1958 Explorer production run yielded a mere 19 units in natural finishes, this Dealer Select model flips the script. It features a vintage-defying, head-turning Ebony finish over a solid Korina body—giving this radically shaped, futuristic specimen a dark, aggressive aura. Topped off with the Murphy Lab's highest tier of aging, this instrument feels like a legendary, battle-tested road warrior from day one.
Standout Features:
- Exclusive Dealer Select Program: Custom-spec'd by expert guitar curators for unmatched individuality.
- Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged: Premium nitrocellulose lacquer finish treatment packed with authentic battle scars, heavy checking, and deeply rolled fingerboard edges for an immediate broken-in feel.
- Resonant Korina Body: Premium, solid Korina construction that delivers a remarkably resonant sound reminiscent of top-shelf mahogany but with its own distinct, exquisite response.
- Vintage-Accurate Electronics: Powered by a set of Gibson Custombucker humbuckers coupled with CTS vintage-taper pots and a "phone book" capacitor to recreate authentic 1950s PAF tones.
- Period-Correct Appointments: Includes an ABR-1 bridge with a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece, aged gold hardware, and eye-catching celluloid-tipped Kluson Deluxe tuning machines.
