  1. draelyc, I did the upgrade myself and it wasn't too technical. My biggest concern before taking a deep breath and drilling the two holes was making sure they were reasonably far away from the original holes, not so close to the side that the pots would touch, fairly even to the f-holes and that, when I was done, they looked "original".... I built myself a plastic layout board (jig) that I could mount the pots and the switch to for soldering.... The layout was based on the three existing holes in the top. In other words, after removing the volume and tone knobs, I laid the jig over the shafts of the 2 pots and the switch thus locating the 2 new holes to be drilled. There was plenty of room through the bridge pickup cavity to feed the harness through.... It actually went smoothly with no big issues. I would think that, since I had no big issues doing this "mod", any good guitar tech wouldn't have any problem. I still have the plastic template if you'd like me to get a copy of it to you.... Being a fan of separate vol and tone controls for each pickup, I have never understood why some builders (Hamer & PRS amongst others) give you only one vol and tone pot for two pickups..... I really like the way it turned out..... Tim.

  4. Sorry for dragging my tail. Here are pictures of the case in all its dusty two part glory. I also found hinges from an old saxophone case (see pics) that appear to be the same size. I'm going to cut them from the boards (you'll have to uninstall them) and include them in the case. Then you can find someone to do the repair or tackle it yourself. I have not yet found a shipping carton, so it will be near the end of next week before this ships. I'll let you know the cost of shipping once I have one. My guess is in the $40-$60 range, maybe a bit higher.

  7. Hi Chromium, Would you consider selling the Korina Jr. to a Canadian? I could get you to ship it to a US address near the border (Oroville, Washington State) and I will take care of the rest.. Of course I would pay you in US funds. If so, can you give me a description of condition and some more photos. I have bought 1 guitar from a US member of this website so if you need a reference I can give you one, of course once I get permission from said member to give his name as a reference. Is it all original? I am assuming being an 05, it would have the Vintage Carve neck. Looking forward to your reply. Cheers. My real name is Dana (and I am a dude).

  9. Hi Cornelius, check mal die schwarze 81 Sunburst bei eBay. Scheint bei mir in der Nähe zu sein und preislich ein Schnapper. Ich könnte das Teil für Dich abholen und für Dich lagern, falls Du Interesse hast. Schönen Gruß, Thorsten
