Hook and Gibson launched the guitar earlier this year, and he says having his own Gibson was nothing less than a dream come true. "It's always been a dream. I always thought that I'd love to have my own Explorer," Hook told Gibson.com.

"I was very patient. Every other guitar manufacturer tried to approach me, and I said, 'You know, but I play this guitar. It's my favorite guitar. I don't want you to make me something like it. I just want to play it.'"
