Tom Morello's ca.1979-1983 Gibson Explorer II - Play It Loud. MET (2019-05-13 19.16.38 by Eden, Janine and Jim)

  • Explorer II (ca.1979-1983), Gibson. Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll. Metropolitan Museum of Art..
    "​This guitar was Morello’s main instrument during his teenage and college years. He modified the instrument with a Kahler locking tremolo in order to produce extreme “dive bomb” effects, where the vibrato bar is used to rapidly lower the pitch of a note, creating a sound similar to a bomb dropping. The effect, originated by players such as Eddie Van Halen, was vital to the sound of hard rock and heavy metal in the 1980s. ",
    "​Technical Description: Maple and walnut body and neck, ebony fingerboard; 24¾ in. scale; flat gold finish; set neck with dot inlays; “scimitar” headstock with truss rod cover inscribed “E/2” and inlaid mother-of-pearl Gibson logo; two humbucking pickups with coils exposed, three-way selector switch, two volume controls and one tone control; gold Kahler locking vibrato bridge and nut, gold tuners, clear and black plastic barrel knobs, three-ply black and white plastic pickguard; stock bridge replaced ",
