Gibson Guitar Of The Week #4 Explorer Pro 2007 - Vintage Sunburst

An absolutely gorgeous 2007 Gibson Explorer Pro in Vintage Sunburst, released as Week #4 of Gibson’s Guitar of the Week series. Limited to just 400 guitars worldwide, this is a particularly collectible variation of the Explorer, and finding one in this condition nearly two decades later is something special.

The AA flame maple top is beautiful on this one. It has a rich golden amber center, dark burst edges, and broad, dimensional flame running across the body. The antiqued cream binding, amber knobs, and exposed humbuckers give it an almost vintage Les Paul aesthetic on an Explorer-shaped body. The natural mahogany back is equally beautiful.

What makes the Explorer Pro especially interesting is its smaller body compared to a traditional Explorer. Gibson retained that iconic silhouette while giving it more compact proportions, a bound rosewood fretboard, and a clean, pickguard-free design that really lets the figured maple stand out.

This guitar is in Excellent, collector-grade condition, particularly impressive for a 2007 model. It's a beautifully preserved example of a limited-production Gibson that doesn't come around very often.

Comes with its Gibson USA hardshell case, factory inspection checklist, and pictured paperwork.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and fully insured via Reverb Safe Shipping.

⏳ Quick note: These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
