Heavy Korina?

[Tommy Tourbus]

I've noticed that the more recent '58 Historic V's and Explorers have weights listed that are pretty up there...V's around 8lbs and Explorers 9+ lbs. About a pound or so heavier than what the earlier batches were running. In my experience Korina has always tended to be a lighter weight wood, lighter than mahogany. Anyone have experience with this heavier weight Korina? Do they sound different?

The recent stuff is heavier a builder told me. I handled an explorer body and it was heavy.
