What is the cheapest Gibson Explorer and where can you find it?
I looked prices of the Gibson Explorer guitar on Guitar Center.com and it was around $1,000, is there another place to buy it cheaper? If so, where?
That is likely the best price you will find on a new one. You can try the used route or You could purchase one from Gibson’s Epiphone line. From Gibson’s epiphone line you will pay between $400 and $500. It is basically the same instrument. I think the only real difference is that this line is made overseas in Gibson factories where labour is much cheaper. They are by no means a poor quality instrument. The guitar player in my band has 3 epiphones and loves them. Our other guitar player has an actual Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. If you play one and then the other, there is no real noticeable difference.
They are available here:
