Lzzy Hale Unleashes Her Signature Fury with Epiphone Explorer Custom

Brace yourselves, metalheads: the queen of rock, Lzzy Hale, has just unveiled her latest weapon of choice in the raw world of heavy music—the Lzzy Hale Explorer Custom. In a captivating interview with Guitar Center's Senior Director of Artist Relations, Dave Kushner, Hale reminisces about her journey with the iconic Explorer, a guitar that transformed her sound and stage presence since the dawn of Halestorm.

“When I first strapped on an Explorer back during our debut album, it was like a revelation,” Lzzy recalls, her voice dripping with passion. “The weight, the feel—it became a part of me. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my Les Pauls, but the Explorer just resonates with my spirit.” This instrument isn’t just a guitar; it’s a conduit for her ferocious energy, designed for those who dare to unleash their inner beast.

The Lzzy Hale Explorer Custom is not just about looks—though the striking Black Diamond Holographic Sparkle finish is enough to make any guitarist drool. It’s a hard-hitting, high-impact beast built for the relentless demands of heavy riffs and soaring leads. With premium features and a voice that commands arenas, this guitar is engineered to stand out both on stage and in the studio.

“Lzzy embodies a rare blend of power and precision,” says Aljon Go, Epiphone’s Product Manager. “The Explorer Custom captures that raw energy and transforms it into an unforgettable instrument that’s as fast and fierce as she is.” The mahogany body, 7-ply top binding, and ebony fretboard are just the beginning of what makes this guitar a force to be reckoned with.

But that’s not all. As part of the launch, Lzzy is offering fans an exclusive chance to snag an Explorer Custom played live on stage during Halestorm’s Fall 2026 North American tour, personally autographed by the rock goddess herself. This VIP package includes a pre-show meet and greet, photo ops, and an array of perks that will make any die-hard fan’s heart race.

So, if you’re looking to elevate your sound and step into the spotlight, the Lzzy Hale Explorer Custom is your ticket to rock stardom. As Lzzy says, “Guitars are like shoes; they need to fit you perfectly.” Get ready to make your mark with a piece that’s as fierce and unforgettable as the woman behind it.
