Electric Guitars - Epiphone Gothic 1958 Explorer Electric Guitar, Black Satin

Based on the space-age EXP design introduced in 1958, this is Epliphone's very modern update to a classic, ready to rock with blazing humbuckers and a wicked all-black design.

Be Afraid of the Dark

Epiphone's Goth collection features axes that are the black sheep in the Epiphone family, in satin black finishes and outfitted with black hardware, pick guards, and controls. Adding to the effect is the 12th fret "XII" inlay, for a stark look that's all win.

High-output open-coil Alnico Classic humbuckers.

Roman number "XII" inlay at 12th fret.

Riff-Ready

This guitar is no slouch when it comes to delivering the goods for heavy music. A set mahogany neck provides massive sustain and resonance, to match the mahogany body, with a fast 22-fret rosewood fretboard. Dual Alnico Classic open-coil humbuckers provide monster output with plenty of high-end definition, and each pickup gets a volume knob to back things off when you need a bit more nuance (the master tone control is shared).

Dependable Hardware

Get even more sustain with the adjustable bridge and stopbar tailpiece, finished in--what else--black. Die-cast Epiphone tuning machines take up the slack on the other end, providing you with a stable, solid instrument that's ready to gig.
