Gibson Custom Shop M2M Explorer Custom - Classic White

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 than the Gibson Explorer, a design that was truly ahead of its time when it crash-landed on Earth in 1958. This Made to Measure '58 Explorer Custom is our latest discovery, custom-crafted in Vintage White with a VOS nitro finish that looks like it’s been traveling the stars for decades.

Built by the Gibson Custom Shop with unparalleled attention to detail, this Explorer features a solid mahogany body, long tenon hide-glue neck joint, and a sleek ebony fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. The 58 neck profile feels substantial in the hand, offering the kind of vintage authority that connects you directly to the tone gods of yesteryear — or perhaps, the future.

Equipped with a pair of Gibson’s coveted “S Bucker” pickups, you can expect a wide tonal galaxy — from articulate clean tones to thick, roaring sustain that bends space and time. Tapered pots and ceramic caps ensure the signal stays pure, focused, and responsive, like any great ship’s controls should.

Whether you're channeling the raw energy of early explorers or charting new sonic constellations, this is not just a guitar — it's a vessel for creative flight.

Rarity to even spot one of these in the universe, mush less have the opportunity to own and wield one. Take the controls and explore new worlds of tone.
