Product information - EPIPHONE Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer Galaktikon Burst

Signature electric guitar with 24 fret ebony fingerboard, Gibson USA pickups and Floyd Rose tremolo, including EpiLite case

The Epiphone Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer Galaktikon Burst convinces as Signature electric guitar of the mastermind behind Dethklok and Metalocalypse with solid metal sounds and extremely agile playing characteristics.

Modified Explorer design

Brendon Small chose the iconic Explorer design as the basis for his GhostHorse Signature electric guitar, which features subtle modifications for virtuoso soloing. With a deeper cutaway and contoured heel, the mahogany body grants unobstructed access to the 24th fret of the ebony fingerboard. In addition, the slim SlimTaper profile of the glued mahogany neck promises the best conditions for light-fast and precise electric guitar playing.

EPIPHONE Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer Galacticon Burst

Nimble handling and premium metal tones, the Epiphone Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer Galaktikon Burst comes with SlimTaper neck, 24-fret ebony fingerboard and Gibson USA BurstBucker pickups.

Gibson USA BurstBucker

With two original Gibson USA BurstBucker pickups, the Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer turns out to be a supplier of first-class metal sounds. While the BurstBucker 2 at the bridge elicits finely differentiated distortion sounds from the guitar amp, the BurstBucker 1 at the neck convinces with classic Vintage Drive and harmonic cleans. The option to split the humbuckers also expands the sound repertoire and bell-bright single-coil sounds.

Floyd Rose Tremolo

A true shredder guitar, the Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer from Epiphone is naturally equipped with a Floyd Rose FRT-1000 tremolo. Thanks to the double-locking construction with fixed fixation of the strings, the Tremolo converts even the heaviest dive bombs without the guitar going out of tune.

Amazing Explorer Guitar with something extra

Review from: Silverback at 12/09/22

Been looking for a nice explorer for a while and once I saw this model some time ago, I fell in love with this amazing guitar. I was for a while very, very doubtful due to the complicated and demanding Floyd Rose bridge I never had before. A couple of good tutorials on the system were enough to take this fear away.

After a thorough check, the guitar is a dream, works perfectly and love it so far. No scratches nor color changes on the mat neck and back, veneer looks pristine, and mechanics work just fine, lovely Gibson Pup sound with split coils and the fret-board looks great, 12th fret’s spaceship inlay aside which is also a very nice touch there.
No challenges with neck profile, just a bit of a welcomed change to a thinner neck from my husky Les Paul ones I have. This is a really nice and balanced guitar! Ok, it's on the slightly heavier side but very manageable still.

As mentioned earlier, It’s my first Floyd Rose guitar and surprisingly, I managed to adjust it to perfect balance and tuning on my first try in less than an hour with the help of some wood wedges to block back of the springs with, that I made during that estimated time, and of course a ton of online tutorials the weeks prior. Next step is changing to Paradigm Ernie Ball 11s half a step down and adjusting float again….but this will have to wait a bit and maybe a fourth spring will be in order, we will see.

If doubting on Floyd Rose, trust me, I am really not a technical person but this was a piece of cake, once you understand the basics and foremost, make a nice wedge, rest is just a walk in the park.

It also comes with a case which is always a plus for getting it home in the best possible condition though I would have preferred a hard case or actual guitar contour shaped foam on the included case, to make it extra safe. and not moving whist transporting

For those Brendan small fans out there, it is even more of a desirable item. For those not following his work, still a really nice guitar and a steal for what you get. This guitar will make you happy no matter if you know artist or not

Last but not least, there is a shop that actually checks guitars before shipping and that is Music Store....Big, big thanks for making sure I got the guitar I wanted and expected. Big thanks to the entire team!
