It was so radical for its time that it was discontinued by 1963 due to poor sales. In 1976, Gibson reintroduced the model to compete with similar \"copycat\" designs from other brands. The \"76 Reissue\" name (often called the X-Plorer during the 90s) became the standard production version for the USA factory from 1990 to 2013. The Heritage Cherry finish was a staple for this model but was eventually discontinued around 2007. While the original 1958 models were made of Korina wood, the '76 reissues use solid Mahogany, which provides a thicker, warmer tone that became foundational for hard rock and heavy metal artists like James Hetfield and The Edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
