2004 Gibson Explorer Swamp Ash Natural Limited Edition

2004 Gibson Explorer Swamp Ash Natural Limited Edition A very rare Gibson Explorer made of SWAMP ASH, with a mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard. It is also worth noting in the specifications that all the wood has no lacquer finish - it sounds, breathes, and resonates just incredibly well! 24 3/4' scale length, 1 11/16" Nut Width (bridge), weight is only about 3.3 kg!!!! The neck is fast, not thick, Gibson's ceramic Gibson's 496r & 500t pickups, original case. Previously there were only two editions of swamp ash Explorers - Gibson Voodoo Explorer (about 100 units worldwide) - now they cost about $2500-3000, but they came with an ebony fretboard, Gibson Explorer Blood Moon (400 units worldwide, but finding them for sale now is unrealistic) - if they are sold, then with a price tag of no less than $2500, but they had a Floyd, and finally, this limited edition from 2003-2004, according to various data, less than 100 were made, and they are extremely rare to come by. I was lucky enough to snatch one here, and I am listing it at a very reasonable price. The nickel hardware on the guitar was replaced with black, which gave it an simply incredible beauty!!! The natural matte color of the swamp ash combined with the black hardware looks austere, expensive, I am personally delighted, even though I don't play Explorers, but this is the only one I wanted to keep for myself)) in short, the guitar is visually pleasing, and the sound is also - the wood is very high quality, frets are normal, everything is straight, I adjusted everything, there is plenty of meat, and most importantly, unlike regular Explorers, this one has a fantastic clean tone due to the ash, whoever has played ash guitars knows this! And on overdrive, it cuts through perfectly even in dropped tunings! I categorically recommend this guitar! The guitar has very light wear and only a few marks and dents after 13 years, which are not noticeable, considering that it is matte and natural in color. Comes with the original case and documents. The guitar is so rare that there are no reviews of it on the internet, but I will make my own if possible. The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on a choice of good tube equipment — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl.... I will ship to anywhere in the world WORLDWIDE SHIPPING
