Ua D Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Couldn’t find an old thread. Seeing as it’s a NHD for me I’ll start. So far I think it’s awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I’m in. It is the greatest neck I have ever played. It just fits my hand perfectly and I can fly on it. Fave guitar ever with the exception of 0006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 My old artist korina. Still owned by a forum member. My second favorite neck ever. I seriously need to get another one sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchman Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I love my Korina Artist!!! The only drawback is the P90 noise in some locations. Loaded with Lollar 50’s underwound. Tone Tone Tone!!!! wish I had a better pic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricS Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 As others have said, the neck profile is fantastic. Love this guitar (an '05). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe G Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Lousy pic, but I'll play. 25th loaded with Klein epic '58 PAF's. 1 of 4 red Hamers ( others = '81 Special, Mirage II, and BCRJr). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super comfy neck as well 🤘 If that’s the same guitar Django49 had, he let me play that and a vanguard p90 for a couple minutes when I first bought my silver studio from him. That guitar gets around. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Now, this is a great game! 2001 Artist Korina. Stock JB/59. Nothing to dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebird pups? I'm going to have to get a hold of an Artist at some point. Yes, she is Korina HB in jazzburst!!! The Trem is very smooth...a Les Trem II by Duesenberg. Easy install with no modification. Stays in tune VERY well. You can adjust the bar angle to get more dive. Similar to a Bigsby yet some how way differentyet does NOT feel at all like a Strat Trem. Less slop than a Bigsby...but I like them both! The Les Trem is very comfy and easy to use. Rumpelstiltskin Firebird pickups wound to vintage 60’s specs like a real bird pup. Coils on their sides with a bar mag between each coil. LOVE the tone. Bright and snappy, yet definitely humbuckers. I like ‘em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been curious about the Les Trem - lots of people like them over the Bigsbys. Thanks for the info. Now I know the mods I'll make when I get my Artist. BTW.. the firebirds/korina - does it sound like a tele on steroids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nicest necks I've ever had, but something came up and something had to go. Great guitar. I thought I had better pictures of it somewhere.....

Has the Tele bite if needed and has the snap of a Tele, yet the humbucker family tree is easily heard...especially in the neck, which never gets muddy. Firebird pups are just awesome. I guess it really is kinda like a Tele on steroids but with a much better neck pickup...and that from a guy who loves Tele neck pickups. I like my Tele bridge pickups to be big and beefy broadcaster types. 10k...so this isn’t quite that but they just rock...bright but not picky...like a good Tele bridge.

JGale Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My first Hamer! Fralin Unbuckers, RS electronics, a pLek job. In a fit of long scale envy I sold it. I would very much like to have another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
