This modern iteration of the Explorer is packed out with flawless features which proudly bring this classic model into the 21st century.
Devilish Dirty Fingers
The dirtiest tone in the West. Dirty Fingers are pickups which have a unique voice of their own. Being wickedly overwound, they produce a savagely high-output, searing sound which tears through any mix with unrelenting ease. The Dirty Fingers+ Lead humbucker in the bridge position is a king of power. It fires out electrifying, crunchy tone which drips with saturation and bite. This makes it exceptional for heavy chugging, whilst its clarity makes each note in a chord leap out.
The Dirty Fingers Rhythm+ in the neck offers a fat, filthy tone of its own. When you sail through lead licks, you'll notice how massive your tone is, and how each note sings with glassy clarity. Your music will soar as you pummel your way through riffs, with the neck pickup providing all the sustain you could ever want. Whether playing with super high gain, light crunch, or clean, these humbuckers will humbly serve all your tonal needs.
Magnificent mahogany
Slim and superior. The mahogany neck which proudly protrudes from the body is a masterpiece. It is slim tapered, meaning that it feels incredibly easy to play. You'll be able to get your hand from fret to fret in the blink of an eye, whilst the warm resonance of the mahogany makes all your notes sound fat. Feeling unbelievably smooth under your thumb, you'll experience a new level of freedom as your fingers fly down the fretboard.
Flawless fretting
The wood of dreams. Rosewood has long been a favourite of guitarists worldwide for its unique feel and sound. When you play your riffs over the beautiful rosewood neck, you'll notice that each fret has a sleek, satisfying feel which you just don't get with other woods. It also helps to sustain notes for long periods of time, which is especially useful for those big, dramatic bends. You'll find it easy to run your fingers over the frets, encountering minimal resistance along the way. Liberate your playing.
Forever in tune
They're top of the game. Tune-O-Matic bridges are commonly found on high-end guitars, because they are so effective. The Tune-O-Matic bridge on this Flying V offers rock solid tuning stability which won't let you down. Keeping your strings locked in place, all your notes will ring true - no matter how aggressively you hit the strings. This is complemented by Grover Rotomatic tuners, which also keep a strong grip over your strings. This iconic guitar screams with class and style. Take your riffs to new heights.
