Not worth it, unfortunately
The guitar is good overall, it plays nicely and I liked the pickups. However, it had visual, although small, but unacceptable imperfections such as bad fretwork in some places, visible glue and tool marks. At this price rate, it’s absolutely not acceptable. I’ve returned the guitar back.

Great guitar, but not a good reissue.
I've bought this guitar back in January and have been playing gigs with it consistently. It's surprisingly light weight, extremely resonant and in general a beast of a guitar, truly a roadworthy axe!
I was lucky enough that the guitar came nicely set-up out of the box, only thing I did when it first arrived was oil the fretboard and change the strings.
However, if you're looking for a 1:1 reissue of the OG '80s explorer, sadly thus isn't it, you'd be better off going for the cheaper option and more faithfully recreated Epiphone version of this guitar.

Nice sound, QC could be better
Nice sound both plugged and unplugged. Very resonant instrument. Wider neck the average Gibson neck (at least the one I tried). But the one I tried had some QC issues: high action from factory set up, fa bit of rett buz (probably due to high action), finish (paint/surface) not even/level, laquer on the side of fretboard (unacceptable at this price point and brand).
