At Interstellar Guitars, we’re tone chasers — explorers of sonic frontiers, always seeking rare instruments that transcend the ordinary and inspire creativity on a galactic scale. Few guitars embody that mission more perfectly than the Gibson Explorer, a design so far ahead of its time that when it crash-landed on Earth in 1958, the world wasn’t quite ready for it.
Today, that visionary spirit lives on in our newest arrival: the Gibson Custom Shop Made to Measure 1958 Explorer, custom-crafted in Vintage White with a VOS nitrocellulose finish that looks like it’s been traveling the stars for decades. This is more than just a reissue — it’s a faithful recreation built by Gibson’s most skilled artisans, tailored to our exact specifications, and available exclusively here at Interstellar Guitars.
Equipped with a pair of Gibson Custom S Buckers, this Explorer delivers a full tonal galaxy — from crystalline cleans to thick, roaring sustain that could power a warp drive. Tapered pots and ceramic capacitors ensure your signal stays pure, dynamic, and responsive — like the precise controls of a starship.
Whether you’re channeling the raw energy of early rock pioneers or charting brand-new sonic constellations, this guitar isn’t just an instrument. It’s a vessel for creative flight.
