topekatj Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 No affiliation. Another misidentified offering from our pals at GC. Listed as a 2016(?) model, this one’s been (not irreparably) gussied up/pimped out with tortoise shell covered, humbucker-sized P-90s and mother of toilet seat tuner buttons. The ‘base’ guitar looks nice, though. Cannot ID the tuner brand.

DaveL Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Ok, will check it... someone posted a shot of this on facebook a few days ago, really liked the grain of the korina on the face... looked somewhat clean... we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too familiar with the construction -- looks like a 1 piece back that gets hollowed out, then the chevron top is attached? The only mark I can see is a string end scrape on the face of the peghead, treble side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as a "regular" Artist, but chambered one piece korina (instead of mahogany) back with carved korina (instead of maple) top. Killer, just a different flavor!

Never had a korina Artist. Always wanted a korina Artist. And....... and that one looks pretty nice. But I promised the boss no more impulse buys. Being in The-Shishkov-Honeymoon-Phase helps, too.

Jakeboy Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have a Korina Artist HB is jazzburst and it was my Hamer gateway drug.....those pickups look like Pete Biltoft’s work. Great looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Buying used from GC is pretty low risk. If not considered "vintage" (25 yrs old I believe) there is a 45 day return policy. Last time I indulged anyway. The link didn't work for me.. maybe sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 @DaveLI hope you like it as much as I like mine. I thought those might be Lollar Novel 90 pickups. Will be looking forward to your impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks Hbom, that would be great, although I think it may be the rio grande version of their humbucker sized p-90 (fat Bastard)?? I'd be happy with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Rio's for sure, that guitar should sound huge. Possibly too huge, keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
