Funky Chicken Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 I've still got my Rockman. Still works. A couple times a year I pull it out for a laugh.

I do that with my POD (the kidney). The Spinal Puppets factory preset is just killer in headphones. I always take that on my condo trips to the beach. Bad for the ears and good for a headache though...

It's, basically, a Tele thin-line. Very warm sounding guitar compared to Fenders of similar configuration. Seymour hand wound the pickups for the prototypes (mine is one of three models featured in the magazine). Damn, I vividly remember that magazine issue and that photo. I’m sure I still have the mag somewhere. Cool guitar!

BoogieMKIIA Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Can't speak to what it does for tone but a gratuitous pic of my Boogie. I think it must sound better than vinyl covered plywood.

I was inspired by two CO Hamers, each of which had a korina body and neck, with ebony board (one) Brazilian (the other). Add a softwood top (redwood) over a chambered body and the piezo option and I am in love with it. This guitar has really spoiled me. It can do just about anything.....More than I am capable of doing, of course. Tone is in the ear of the beholder, but I like the difference in the mids, with a touch of "air" from the chambering.....Add a bit of "crispness" from a slight "acoustic" edge, as desired. WOW That's a gorgeous top!!!

Seems to be pretty similar, otherwise. If given the choice, I’d stick with my Korina guitars overall. woo
shankyboy Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 If I were to have Mike build me a Korina guitar, I would have him make something based on the Moderne with a Futura headstock. Then I would have the trifecta with my Korina Vector and Rick Nielsen Futura. I tried to get Hamer to build one but they said there was some sort of copyright issue which is baffling considering they could make a Vector and Standard without any issues.
cmatthes Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I’m not sure MIke would want to build that, but who knows?

Studio Custom Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Korina can be more visually stimulating than mahogany, but I can not think of a single famous recording people point to say "now that's the sound of korina!"

RobB Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Its mythic properties derive from the original Gibson V/Explorer. The myth is unearned. It's hype.
shankyboy Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Albert King certainly made his mark with a Korina V on his early recordings. I don't know that you can say that his awesome tone had anything to do with Korina though.
devrock Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 I got some massive Limba (aka Korina) blanks this weekend from my secret supplier. Big enough for single-body Explorers. Here’s some pr0n for ya.
