Mahogany Body: The mahogany body provides a solid tonal foundation with strong character and sustain. Its Explorer shape creates the unmistakable appearance associated with hard rock and metal.

60s SlimTaper Mahogany Neck: The mahogany neck features a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile. Additionally, the glued-in construction provides a stable connection between the neck and body.

Rosewood Fretboard: The rosewood fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays. Its 12-inch radius supports comfortable chords, bends, and lead playing.

Active EMG 60 and EMG 81 Pickups: The EMG 60 powers the neck position, while the EMG 81 sits in the bridge. Together, they deliver powerful tones and rich sustain.

9V Active Pickup Power: The active EMG pickups require a 9V battery. The battery compartment sits on the rear for quick and easy access. A 9V battery is not included.

Individual Volume and Master Tone Controls: The guitar features two individual volume controls and one master tone control. Therefore, players can quickly adjust their sound during performances.

LockTone Tune-O-Matic Bridge: The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge provides dependable string positioning and adjustment. The LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece also anchors the strings securely.

Mini Die-Cast Tuners: Mini die-cast tuning machines provide reliable tuning adjustments. Meanwhile, the Graph Tech nut supports consistent tuning stability.

No Pickguard: The Explorer 80s EMG features no pickguard. Consequently, the Classic White finish and angular body shape create a sleek and slightly menacing appearance.
