Detroit-provenance Gibson Explorer, made in USA in late 1991 (S/N 93031767). Vintage player with honest wear: edge dings, small scuffs, typical belt rash—no breaks or repairs seen. Neck is straight, frets are good, action/intonation are comfortable as it sits. Electronics: neck pickup works normally; bridge pickup outputs very low (intermittent/weak- needs service). All hardware is intact and functional; tuners hold tune. Includes original Gibson hard-shell case, original bill of sale (Wonderland Music Co., Detroit, 2/19/1992), and Gibson warranty paperwork. Case interior is excellent; exterior shows wear and the combo lock/latch is missing, other two latches work.
