The anvil upon which this virtual/real band hammers out its unique brand of death metal.

Inspired by Skwisgaar Skwigelf's main axe, the Dethklok Thunderhorse Explorer is powered by Gibson BurstBucker 1 and 2 humbuckers mounted on a mahogany body to supply the deadly resonance that matches his death growl voice. All the attributes of mahogany come into play. The wide grain, very porous and lighter than most tone wood creates even more of a mellow resonance regardless of the pickup combination. Sustain is maintained but with a warmer approach and makes broader tone versatility easily with reach. The set mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard has a '50s rounded profile that gives Skwisgaar ample support for his muscular riffing. The nut and neck both receive Gibson's revolutionary PLEK setup. And by the way, that's a satin silver burst...not satan.

BurstBucker Thunder
To maximize all of this tonal splendor, the Dethklok "Thunderhorse" Explorer is equipped with a calibrated set of Gibson's popular BurstBucker humbucking pickups, which comprises a BurstBucker 1 in the neck position and a slightly hotter BurstBucker 2 in the bridge position, for the perfect output balance between the two pickup selections. Made with unpolished Alnico II magnets and unpotted coils that are wound to slightly different numbers of turns of 42-gauge plain enamel-coated wire, just like the originals, these are some of the finest reproduction PAF ("patent applied for") style humbuckers available today.

Dethklok is both a virtual band featured in the Adult Swim animated program Metalocalypse, and a real band created to perform the band's melodic death metal music in live shows. Created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, Dethklok is sometimes cited as an example of "comedy rock" on a par with bands such as GWAR and Spinal Tap.

Breaking The Dethalbum's record as the highest-charting death metal album in history, Dethklok's second release, Dethalbum II, debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 in 2009

Mahogany neck
Mahogany, without a doubt has become the only choice for generations to equip an instrument with the various preferences that most players demand; strong, rigid, light. Milled and cut to the proper 'quarter sawn' wood grain orientation and kiln dried for true climate acclimation, this Central and South American species (Swietenia macrophylla) is highly machinable on one hand but extremely expressible in the hands of a detailed craftsman thereby producing a 'players feel' that feels natural to the human hand. The instruments' neck from many aspects will "make or break" the compatibility of the instrument to the player, but, not as much as how the neck feels and fits. Using time proven classical style angled head stocks and ' Tenon' wood joinery provides a stiff substructure to accommodate string tension and sound transference. Through the center is the same historically proven and recognized truss rod for the fine-adjustments needed to insure ultimate and personalized string action and sustain.

Ebony fingerboard
Always dense, always black, always rich in tonal response and resolution Ebony wood provides the natural durability, elegance and esthetic refinement we've come to expect in high quality fingerboard material. The condensed fiber cells make for clean machining therefore leaving a semi-polished sheen that is smooth to the touch creating a surface less prone to finger-tip resistance while passing through multiple cords or blistering solo's. Kiln dried for maximum stability and tonality enhancement to withstand extreme changes in indoor/outdoor playing environments.

Revolutionary Plek Set Up
The Plek is a German-made, computer-controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, virtually eliminating string buzz and greatly improving the overall playability of the guitar. This pioneering process does in minutes what it takes a luthier several hours—sometimes even days—to accomplish. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the guitar is properly intonated, leaving the instrument "Plek'd" and amazingly playable.
