BoogieMKIIA Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Perhaps some perspective on used Hamer prices. $9,999.00 https://willcuttguitars.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/gibson-1958-korina-explorer-natural-black-pickguard-814-58kexpblkvogh1-821814
Cboss Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Looks exactly like my Epiphone korina explorer, which is a fantastic guitar $600, no hard case
svl Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Save yourself $9k and get an Epi that'll blow your sox off...
The Shark Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 You can get a Sonic Guitars "Ex" from Paolo Sulcuni in Verona Italy for $3,600...
currypowder Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I'll stick with my Momose Korina MEX at a quarter of the price. Here she is hanging with her Momose Korina pointy siblings
HamerCustomEr Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 What do we think of this Japanese oddball in "good" condition? No affiliation. $1660 USD. Note the positions of the knobs. https://reverb.com/ca/item/64569609-suzuki-explorer-japan-vintage-70-s-ibanez-greco-factory-gibson-copy-dimarzio-usa

Doesn't look like Fujigen (Ibanez) work. Could be Terada or Matsumoku. But the TRC is def Ibanez/Greco. Hmmm. 🤔

Seems like a good buy… However, that knob crowding would bug the SHIT outta me. I’d be totally dick-fingered trying to work my digits between that spacing
Len Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I'll take my '78 Greco ... Best Explorer/Destroyer I've ever played.
