The last time an original, production left-handed Explorer guitar was readily available was over 25 years ago! They are not available in left hand by the original manufacturer today, not even through their Custom Shop! So, no amount of money today will get you a new "original."
Redesigned in Australia, the Gaskell CLASSIC has a slightly smaller, evenly weighted body with a correct centre of gravity, making it more comfortable, more playable, and still timelessly stylish.
Equipped with a set-in "60's neck" the Gaskell Classic enables you to easily manage complex chording as well as being able to easily lead up and down the fret board. Unlike it's inspiration, the Classic is controlled by one volume and two tone controls. Sound is achieved with Wilkinson® high-gain, open humbucking pickups.
All Gaskell guitars are fully finished and set up in our workshops in Sydney Australia, or San Diego USA prior to reaching you.
If you only ever dreamed of owning and playing a guitar like this, then that dream can now easily become REALITY!
