Up for sale, a 1992 Orville by Gibson EX Explorer in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Differentiated from the standard Orville-branded instruments, the “Orville by Gibson” guitars represented the highest tier of Japanese construction, outfitted from the factory with USA-made Gibson pickups. Made exclusively for the Japanese market and uncommon outside its country of origin, this Orville is an official Gibson-licensed guitar and a result of a partnership between Gibson USA and their Japanese distributor Yamano Gakki. Named after Gibson’s founder, Orville Gibson, this long-since discontinued Orville model was crafted at the Terada factory.
The 490R humbucker is Gibson’s “Modern PAF” offering a balance of clarity and warmth with an accentuated midrange. The 498T humbucker is a hotly-wound Alnico V magnet pickup with plenty of bite and focused aggression, tailored for high gain. This Explorer has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
