Embrace the raw power and retro flair of the Epiphone Explorer '80s EMG Electric Guitar, a striking tribute to the decade that defined hard rock and metal. This guitar is a modern homage to the legendary 1984 Explorer, featuring an iconic angular mahogany body that screams attitude and offers effortless upper fret access. The set-in '60s SlimTaper neck, crafted from mahogany and topped with a rosewood fretboard, ensures fast playability and comfort, catering to both shredders and rhythm players alike.

At the heart of the Explorer '80s EMG are the active EMG 60/81 pickups, revered for their high-output clarity and precision. Delivering everything from tight, punchy rhythms to searing solos, this pickup combination is perfect for players looking to cut through with articulate high-gain tones. The EMG 60 in the neck provides smooth, clean leads, while the EMG 81 in the bridge unleashes razor-sharp distortion.

The Explorer’s robust hardware setup includes mini die-cast tuners, a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a stopbar tailpiece, all working together to ensure tuning stability and sustain. Streamlined controls with separate volume knobs and a master tone make for intuitive tone shaping, allowing quick adjustments during performances. With its retro-modern aesthetic and uncompromising sound, the Epiphone Explorer '80s EMG is ready to rock any stage or studio.
