The Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG captures the unmistakable attitude of the 1980s Explorer in a guitar that feels every bit as ready for the stage as its shape suggests. The mahogany body gives it a naturally full and resonant foundation, while the active EMG 60 and EMG 81 pickups deliver the fat, powerful voice that made this era of Explorer so appealing to hard rock and metal players. There’s plenty of punch and definition on tap, but the real magic is in the sustain and sheer authority this guitar brings to big riffs, heavy chords, and soaring leads.

The Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG is just as focused in your hands, with a fast-playing mahogany neck shaped to the comfortable 60s SlimTaper profile and a rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. The familiar pearloid dots keep the look understated, while the Graph Tech nut, mini die-cast tuners, and LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar keep everything feeling secure as you dig in. Without a pickguard, the angular mahogany body takes center stage, giving the Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG a clean, aggressive look that perfectly matches its personality.

With individual volume controls for the EMG 60 and EMG 81 and a master tone control, the Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG gives you the flexibility to shape its powerful voice while keeping the controls simple and performance-ready. The active electronics run on a 9V battery housed in an easily accessible rear compartment, and knurled metal control knobs add another touch of ’80s-inspired character. Packed in a premium gig bag, the Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG is a serious tribute to one of rock’s most distinctive guitars, built for players who want vintage attitude with plenty of modern punch. Available now at Haggerty's Music.
