Rare Vintage 1979 Gibson E-2 Explorer w/gold hardware

- This model produced from ‘79 to ‘83. Multi-laminated Walnut/Maple body is a work of art, with an all-natural finish that really shows off the stunning multi-layer construction.
- Equipped with a five-piece laminated Walnut/Maple neck, featuring a comfortable medium ‘C'-shaped profile.
- Overall condition of this guitar is excellent for 45 years old. The original frets are still in great condition, and while the gold hardware does show some expected oxidation, it adds a vintage charm.
- structurally excellent and play-ready (could use a restring which I can do, or you can install your preferred brand/gauge...
- less than expected surface scuffs/scratches etc.. Most minor.
- a beautiful piece of history for those who dig this style of guitar.

Note: upon request I will happily provide close-up photos and/or video... Even a demo to show that all controls respond and function perfectly...
