Epiphone 1958 Korina Explorer Electric Guitar

The Epiphone Korina Explorer was ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958 and its as relevant today as ever! Instantly recognizable as a classic American design, the Korina Explorer features twin humbuckers, a korina body plus the standard Gibson 24.75-inch scale length. The Korina also features gold hardware and a set neck with a rosewood fingerboard.

Subject:EPI-Explorer par Excellence!!
Quality: i would like to be able to pick this thing apart...but i truly can't so far. It seems real solid The only thing long-term that i foresee failing me would possibly be between the pickups and the input jack. And i only say that because my lead player bought an Epi-SG and the volume pot went out on it I may upgrade the electrics before they have a chance to go...but at $500...that is affordably done
Sound: Tone is SO sweet. I originally planned on installing a pair of Pearly Gates hummer...but i think i'll just let it be for a while. The tone is amazingly nice. I play a lot of BFGibbons type blues and the tone is WARM and tight.
Reliability: only had it about a month...but it seems rugged enough...time will tell on that
Overall: The one i received is SWEET!!! Nothing negative at all. Plays and sounds great right out of the box. Nice action right out of the box. Bo tuning problems. Sounds GREAT...the humbuckers ROCK. TThe finish is gorgeous. I built a Tele recently and had some one ply white pearl pickguard material and covered the plain white pickguard with the pearl and truly made it mine...I LOVE IT!!
Playability and Feel: Not heavy...i was looking for a light stage axe...and this fits the bill perfrctly. Neck is straight and plays fast. Controls are simple and easy to get at.
Tone: nice, warm tone...very comparable to a Gibson. Sweet sustain.
Finish: it's beautiful...no kidding.
Action: sweet...didn't need a thing but tuned and played.
Skill Level: Intermediate
