rugby1970 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Very nice Artist Korina with P90's, original Hamer case. Very minimal fret ware, no discernible dings, dents, scratches can be found. The electronics and truss rod operate correctly. Selling to fund another guitar purchase, shipped and insured, PayPal family and friends or equivalent with no fees. I'll post more pictures when I can figure out how.😩  Â
mirrorimij Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I believe that is a Korina Vanguard. Â The Artist Korina had Seth Lovers, was bound and crowned. Â I remember playing many of those Korina Vanguards that were so light I doubt they weighed 8 pounds. Excellent guitar. Â GLWTS.
BubbaVO Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Seriously... I love that grain. That's black limba? It's even prettier swamp ash. That is gorgeous.  Must be an LP killer. GLWTS.Â
scottcald Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Wow, looks like the first time it's out of the case! Â
rugby1970 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 I found the COA, hang tag and Owner's manual for this guitar. It is an Artist Korina, the color is Vintage Korina. The previous owner described the guitar as being in mint condition having a book-matched top, semi-hollow korina body, korina beck and rosewood fret board. It's currently set up with 10's. I would never describe a used guitar as mint; salty maybe but never mint.
BubbaVO Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 The back of that guitar would have made for a beautiful korina top too. Damn ... this is killing me. What a cool guitar. GLWTS.Â

That's either a one piece top or someone did a very, very, very great job in piecing it together. The body looks to be two pieces but the top........? I've described the attributes of the guitar as the former owner wrote them when I purchased the guitar. I'm not an expert in these matters so I prefer be wrong and under-sell the guitar's features rather than over-selling them. Thanks for all of the views and nice comments but no offers to date.
Jakeboy Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Somebody get you some Korina goodness! My Jazzburst Artist Korina will never leave me. And this one is simply gorgeous. GLWTS
Hbom Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Yeah. This one is real hard to resist. But how many AKs should one old fumble thumb hide under his bed until he's dead?

Yeah, the way the swirling near the butt end seems to continue across the center line looks improbable for a chevron top. Can you post a close-up pic looking straight on at the rear strap button?

rugby1970 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 Here are two pictures of the rear strap end. 2 hours ago, burningyen said: Yeah, the way the swirling near the butt end seems to continue across the center line looks improbable for a chevron top. Can you post a close-up pic looking straight on at the rear strap button? Here are two pics at the rear strap button. I see what looks like a vertical line in the center? Meaning two piece top? I dunno, you all decide.
burningyen Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Interesting, thanks! That does look like a 2-piece top, but very well disguised.
EricS Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Yeah, my Jazzburst is pretty, but your swirly grain is spectacular. The AK is just a great guitar in every way.Â
mrjamiam Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I'd say that my timing and bloated inventory are off more than your pricing. Wish I could, because then I would! Best of luck to you.
Hbom Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I agree. Only thing wrong with your price is that I don't have enough to pay it right now. That's a beautiful guitar. Try to be patient, someone will be very lucky to get it.
rugby1970 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks for the reassurance. It'll go to Reverb soon at a higher price (naturally).
