Lzzy Hale is the singer and guitarist in Halestorm, an American hard rock band. A signature guitar is a model developed with a musician and associated with their name; Epiphone is a guitar maker that produces instruments for a range of players.
The Explorer is a distinctive solid-body electric guitar design, and this version adapts the Explorer Classic for Hale. It is intended for players and fans of her music, while its appearance and sound features reflect choices made for her performances.
Halestorm’s tour with Japanese metal band BABYMETAL gives the guitar a role beyond the product launch, as Hale is expected to use it on stage. The collaboration also connects the two bands’ audiences with a familiar guitar brand and design.
