These eventually became classics in the thrash metal scene, but within this new line up existed the "designer series" which offered some unique designs on the guitars. Most were just random squiggles or lines - but the most collectible are the flags. While the "rebel" confederate flags are banned from being sold on most popular e-tailers, the UK Flag "Union Jack" Explorer still gets a lot of love! 🐕 Episode Guide: 0:00 - Intro - Check Links in the Description 0:09 - Unboxing / Backstory 1:07 - About the Gibson Designer Series 1:44 - A Brief History of the Explorer 3:34 - First Impressions 5:21 - Inside Look / Specs 14:24 - Tone Demo (Clean) 16:02 - Tone Demo (Dirty) 18:09 - Final Thoughts 🎞️ Videos Mentioned: 0:13 Guitarlington Guitar Show Hunting Highlights 2021    • The Craziest Guitars in Texas! | Guitarlin...   1:54 2021 Gibson 1958 Collector's Edition Brazilian Rosewood Korina Explorer    • I Got One! | 2021 Gibson 1958 Collector's ...   ❓Private Help Sessions ➡️ https://troglysguitarshow.com/help-ap... 💰New to Reverb?
