The solid mahogany body is finished in gloss nitrocellulose Racing Red, a bold, striking color that suits the Explorer's aggressive silhouette, and it weighs 8.8 lbs. — substantial without being unwieldy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mahogany neck is carved to the 1950s Chunky D profile (.930\" at the 1st fret, 1.015\" at the 12th), set-neck with a long tenon for maximum sustain and structural integrity. The ebony fretboard has single-ply white binding and mother-of-pearl block inlays, a 12\" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, a 24.75\" scale length, and a 1.687\" Corian nut. The gloss black headstock carries the mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and a white stinger stripe for a sharp, upscale finishing touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElectronics pair a Gibson 490R humbucker in the neck with a hotter 498T in the bridge — a classic Gibson voicing combo that keeps the neck warm and articulate while giving the bridge extra output and bite for leads. Controls are two volume, one tone, and a 3-way toggle for quick switching between voices. Hardware is all gold: a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece and Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons, both built for rock-solid tuning stability. This Gibson Custom Explorer Custom (Serial #CS601656) ships in its Custom Shop hardshell case.
