'70s Tribute Burstbucker Pickups Deliver Legendary Tone The '70s Explorer is loaded with a pair of '70s Tribute Burstbucker pickups that provide the vintage PAF tone that defined rock in the 1970s. Handwired with Orange Drop capacitors, these Burstbuckers offer a resonant, articulate sound with rich harmonics and sustain for days. They deliver the warm, dynamic tone that Burstbuckers are renowned for in a package designed for modern players. Iconic Style and Lightweight Comfort With its classic white and antique natural finish options, this '70s Explorer looks as iconic as the generation of music it helped create. Its bound rosewood fingerboard and black speed knobs provide a fast, comfortable playing experience while chrome hardware completes the vintage-inspired style. Despite its looks, the '70s Explorer is surprisingly lightweight thanks to its resonate mahogany body which further enhances sustain and tone. Built for Speed and Performance The '70s Explorer's slim, contoured mahogany body offers unparalleled access to the upper frets for lightning fast solos and intricate riffs. Its rosewood fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets make bending and vibratos a breeze while black speed knobs provide master volume and tone control at your fingertips. The '70s Explorer delivers no-compromise performance and playability.
