About This Guitar
Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG Classic White
The Epiphone Explorer 80s EMG Classic White is a modern tribute to the aggressive, stripped-down Explorer designs that defined hard rock and metal in the 1980s. Based on the 1984-era Explorer, this model emphasizes raw power, fast playability, and a clean, no-nonsense aesthetic highlighted by its Classic White finish and lack of a pickguard.
A mahogany body and neck provide a solid, resonant foundation, while the SlimTaper 60s neck profile offers a fast, comfortable feel across the fretboard. Outfitted with active EMG pickups, this Explorer is purpose-built for tight, high-output tones with clarity and sustain, staying true to the era that made the Explorer a staple on loud stages.
