The Gibson Explorer 2017 HP takes one of the most iconic and rebellious shapes in guitar history and pushes it into modern territory. While it proudly carries the unmistakable attitude that made the original Explorer a legend, this High Performance model adds player-focused refinements that make it feel faster, smoother, and more adaptable than ever. Lightweight and perfectly balanced, it’s built for players who want bold looks and uncompromising performance in equal measure.

A pair of high-output ceramic humbuckers gives the Explorer 2017 HP all the firepower needed for aggressive rock and metal, delivering crushing rhythm tones, soaring leads, and plenty of harmonic richness when the gain gets cranked. The fast SlimTaper neck and precision fret treatment make every note feel effortless, whether you’re tearing through solos or laying down heavy riffs. Modern touches like the adjustable titanium zero-fret nut and G Force automatic tuning system make experimenting with alternate tunings and keeping everything dialed in easier than ever.

With its sculpted heel for improved upper fret access and a design that’s unmistakably Gibson, the Explorer 2017 HP blends classic attitude with forward-thinking innovation. It’s a guitar made for players who aren’t afraid to stand out and demand serious performance from their instrument. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
