In fact, the Explorer was such a radical departure that Gibson produced only about 100 of the famed instruments many of which are now highly prized collectibles selling for upwards of half a million dollars. Today, the same far-out, futuristic Gibson Explorer reintroduced in the mid 1970's is one of the most coveted powerhouses of screaming rock and roll.
