It's the Gibson certificate of authenticity. The Chinese can't copy it.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

These models were both shockers when introduced. 83 Korina V and 76 Explorer LE.

They look pretty cool now.

:lol: It's mahogany though.

For me it's the instrument equivalent of a '59 Buick Invicta, with those big 'ol wings. I love how balanced Explorers feel.
