Jon - is the HB original in that Korina Virt?

I thought it had a SC-sized pickup in there originally.

That's a great collection!

Oh yeah....same clown must've done that too. It had a cream DiMarzio in it when I got it and the volume would drop on bends, so I put in the double blade PUP (with a varitone) to solve that. I think it looks better now too.

Despite all that...it is actually my fave Virt of the bunch. I was thinking of having the missing frets/fingerboard put back on so it looks correct.

I just love when someone takes a rare guitar and hacks it up.

BTW...I like Virts because I have really big hands and the scallops also make me play lighter, not because I really need 36 frets.

Yah, I think I have seen this dude playing it on youtube. It is cool but definately not a Virtuoso like we have come to know. The truss rod cover says "Custom" so maybe it is truly a one-off effort.

I wonder who the original owner is and when it was produced?

well I see the pics went through I am the original owner it was custom made for me modeled off the virt I did not like the virt body they are way too wide for my likeings so ya can call it what ya want ! it was custom made for me thats why it says custom on the plate this was not intended to be produced or sold to the public I was simply shareing with yall ! rock on !!

 
Wow!

The body looks different to the other virts. Did you personally custom order this back in the early 90s? Tell us the story!

 
I don't get the 36 fret thing. Is it like having an amp that goes to eleven?

If I can't play it in the first 15 frets I just don't play it.
