Surprisingly, I don't own nor have I read this book….and I am a complete Korina nut with logs and notes about every guitar I can find. I know Ron frequents the other LP forum, and should have asked where the info comes from in the book. Is there any first hand knowledge in the book, or just pics submitted by owners or???
Simply amazing!View attachment 24297I have owned several Explorers but none have been Gibson; all have been copies and/or replicas.
I have owned mahogany, korona (white Limba), and other lumber species examples.
There is no doubt the Explorer type is an animal unto itself that no other guitar can match.
Grab 'em while U can get 'em.
I want to look into this more thoroughly. Right now, I don't have time for it. What I'm working on is creating nurse homework, which is not an easy process. This is has been a godsend for me. It can help me to do everything on time and prevent me from focusing all of my efforts on a single task.

Is this your guitar? It looks incredible.
thank you. it indeed is. michael built it for me in 1997.
Nothing yet unfortunately.
your telling me, I haven't posted it here but I just had a KILLER explorer made and its finally come in, MAN it is a fun guitar to play. i always loved looking at the korina stuff but always thought of myself as a Les Paul player maybe a 335 the pointy stuff is to far out. Now that i have this explorer i haven't put it down and its been my go to guitar for over a month at the weekly thursday gig i have
started playing explorers when i was a kid. so comfortable, especially sitting down.
There is an Explorer in the Explorer book, I can't remember by who with the gold reflectors, but it has double ring Klusons. This looks awesome man.
it weighs 6.3 lbs very light, if your asking where it was built it was built in the USACanadian? Italian?
Weight?
