Gibson has released its latest installment to the Guitar of the Month range, the limited edition Reverse Explorer Guitar. Last year's Reverse Flying V triggered an unprecedented response from both players and collectors. The Reverse Explorer's mahognay body is now inverted so that the small horn is on the upper bass-side bout extending upward, while the larger horn is now positioned on the lower treble-side bout, pointing downward.
The body outline is a carbon fiber pickguard shaped like a lightning bolt. The neck is a hybrid betweens Gibson's standard '50s rounded contour and its '60s slim-taper profile, topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with carbon fiber-like inlays at the 5th and 12th fret.
The new Reverse Explorer only comes in an Antique Walnut finish , and comes housed in a custom guitar case. Production is limited to 1,000 guitars.
The Gibson Reverse Explorer Guitar is now available and its price is $3,049
