and flying v for 70s - 80s

[@joeyrocks2207]

Both models are badass ! 😎

[@gibson]

It's hard to choose, right! Personally, I'm more 70s... you? - Lee

[@stug5041]

I need pickguard on my explorer, but I do dig the sound of the 80s pups

[@jimjim7008]

The black one smokes 🤘

[@glaucosouza1971]

Both killer models, but the 70s get my vote. Better control layout and binding on the neck plus that gorgeous white finish 😍

[@ChrisDominey]

Probably been asked a million times, but are the 80's Tribute pickups Alnico 5 like the 70's Tribute ones?

[@BXGuitars]

70s Tribute bridge pickup is the most underrated pickup on Gibson's roster. I really think Gibson shouldn't have used the word "Tribute" in their pickup lines considering most of the time that term is used for a budget item.

Custom colors time for the Explorer and V! Enough with the boring black, white and natural.

[@gibson]

These certainly would be cool in the Custom Colors! -Lee

[@Darth.Shredder]

[@ovCosmic]

Make an 80s Explorer with an ebony fretboard you cowards
