Korina Artist Custom


Recommended Posts

Any of you guys familiar with this model? Of course I've seen many Korina Artists, but can't recall ever seeing one with full body & neck binding and crown inlays. It looks to me like it may be some special run in (I believe) 1998 as there is a number "031" under the serial number.

I think I’ve only ever seen pics of one AK custom, never one in real life. 

 

I like it. Of course, I prefer the jazzburst finish over Korina, but I may be in the minority on that one...

I have one of each. A Korina Artist with P90’s and a maple top with Humbuckers. They sound different as they should. But they both sound and play great!!

It was a limited edition, I think 36, I could be mistaken. My brother in law has one. Nice guitar!!

Thanks Arnie. That's also the info I received from Steve M, a 36 piece limited edition.

I received it today. It needs new strings, some adjustments and a set up. Also is pretty dirty, so it needs a good cleaning, too. But it's in pretty good shape for a 20 year old guitar, though it does have some evidence of being played. I'll put up a full NGD when I get it up to playing condition. Here's a quick pic I just took. This seems to capture the true color a little better. The listing pics are a bit on the dark side.

Korina Artist’s are the bomb!! Love mine!! They have a incredible tone of their own! To my ears a bit more mids and top end but yet with a great woody tone. I sold all of my semi hollows after I got P90 Korina, then bought a maple top humbucker Artist. Between those two guitars I can cover a lot of territory. From LP to 335 turf. Kind of like Les Paul and  ES335 had a baby!!

The one tone I have not been able to find is a Strat tone. But for getting into the Gibson territory they do it well!
