• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

This has "Rafalko" written all over it

It's really nice, but the top isn't my speed- Spose knows.;)
I do indeed want a Korina Standard. But I don't want to pay 6 grand for one!
They made a run of those in 1993, it's a safe bet that Phil Jones had something to do with them, but by '98 I think he was gone.
And the '93s weren't to Historic Spec but DID have a long tenon. and big necks- my two most important qualifications....

I'm sure it's actually a pretty nice guitar in person. I just can't get into that scalloped quilt.

I owned one of the run of Korina Les Pauls from the Custom Shop
and it had one of the most Radical Tops I've ever seen. Looked
like a Comet exploding.... The instrument was nice, but it did not have all the anal details that are on the Historics, wide binding at cutaway, embossed in wood serial numbers, and another half dozen items. Nice pieces, tho for a select few.

Dave R had one a while back that was cherry sunburst with a red back. Heard it was one of two made like that.

If its got "Rafalko" written on it, I must need some special decoder glasses and some acid. ;) That top makes my stomach churn. Reminds me of tripe.
