Epiphone Brendon Small Ghost Horse Explorer, Galaktikon Burst Overview
The Epiphone Brendon Small Ghost Horse Explorer is a guitar built for world domination. Inspired by Small's hit series Metalocalypse, it's capable of producing some searing sounds - enough to make Skwisgaar Skwigelf's jaw drop. It features world-class twin BurstBucker USA humbuckers, which are capable of delivering ultra-destructive, high-octane tone in a heartbeat. They'll bring the same level of sonic death and destruction to the stage as Dethklok themselves.
But this guitar is about so much more than sound. The iconic Explorer shape strikes a sharp, weapon-like pose, whilst proving incredibly easy to wield. A SlimTaper mahogany neck enables you to shred along the slick ebony fretboard with pinpoint precision. And a legendary Floyd Rose tremolo system ensures you can throw as many divebombs into the mix as you can muster - without going out of tune. Coming with a sturdy EpiLite case and inimitable charisma, you can take this guitar anywhere and be sure that it'll turn heads.

View Full DescriptionBrendon Small's Metalocalypse
A series that changed the world. Metalocalypse was created by Brendon Small, and features the virtual death metal band Dethklok. Small writes and performs each song, showcasing his genuine talent on guitar in the process. As such, his signature guitar has been forged with the same innovation and creativity that the man himself has exhibited throughout his career - it's a beast.
Bursting with tone
The pinnacle of sound. Some pickups can only handle a limited number of genres – not the Burstbuckers. With these powerful, dynamic humbuckers, the Small Ghost Horse Explorer is equipped to take on anything you throw at it, from classic rock to death metal. In the bridge position, the Burstbucker gives every note you play a perfectly articulated voice, shining with high output crispness and clarity. Each note in every chord will jump out like a jackhammer, and your riffs will sing in a way you've never heard before.
The neck Burstbucker explodes with fat tones. With supreme sustain and a superior response to your playing, your lead notes will chime like a bell, and sail through any mix. Offering broad, powerful bass and luscious mids, you can make your licks stand out and scream – or gently ring. There's also a coil tap and phase control on the volume and tone dials, letting you change your sound on the fly. With such dynamic, powerful pickups, you can push your boundaries to the limit.
The boldest neck
The perfect partner. Boasting an innovative design and exacting attention to detail, the neck of this beast gives a powerful performance. Being slim tapered, you'll find it sits in your hand like a king in his throne. The contoured heel offers incredibly easy access to the upper frets, letting you anchor your hand by the body for total control. Being made from mahogany, its resonance is warm, bringing out the richness and fullness of your riffs. With this immense tool at your service, you'll be totally free to express yourself on the Les Paul Modern.
Floyd Rose quality
So you like vibrato? With a Floyd Rose FRT-1000 Tremolo system, you can have all the vibrato in the world. A 'floating' bridge, it will let you bend notes up or down with ease using the whammy bar – and you can do divebombs too. The tuning stability is tight, the resonance is powerful, and the feel is beyond words. Built to a professional standard, this is a fully authentic Floyd Rose bridge – nothing beats the original. You can also fine tune the strings using the fine tuning screws – without having to take off the locking nut. If you’re looking for a bridge which will enhance your riffs and give you pure confidence on stage, this is it.
