cbell2112 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hey guys, Can you help me identify this Gibson Explorer that I received in a trade? The serial # is 82289509. From looking at the Gibson website, it appears to be an Explorer 83 but the knobs are not a triangle pattern. The guitar has a standard finish(Burgundy) and it has a Rosewood fretboard. Would also like to know what type of pick ups came in the guitar as these appear to be original. I am hoping they are Dirty Fingers. Thanks for any help! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeman Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 According to the seial number, it would be an 89 76RI. Pickups should be 496/500. Pic's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbell2112 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'll try to to post some pics. Guitar has been played and has some dings but honestly plays and stays in tune great. How do you know it is a '76 reissue? The book I have says they began production in 1990 which is what didn't make sense to me. The specs do line up from what I can see. I guess just a very early model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
