NGD: Flying V

[Will]

Korina V to 58 specs in white.
Its very nice, sounds so full, but missing the LP thing that I love. Pickups could probably do with a change to be more appropriate, but its acoustic sound is awesome.
Also extremely light, and remarkably well balanced
Need to change the string gauge at the moment too, I think it has heavy 9's on, 10-52 should really fill it out

Well, waddaya think then?

i like a lot but i think you need a white korina explorer to go with it ;)

I'd love a V and an Explorer... Really would.

What year is that Will?

I get the feeling this is going to come under scrutiny, as you are building a Korina V replica?
(its not a gibson :P )

I didn't think Gibson ever made a white Korina V.

Is it an Epi?  Edwards?  Tokai?

[FELINEGUITARS]

They did in early 1980s but they cost a few grand
They did limited numbers of white, red and black as well as natural

I have a red one that belonged to my late colleague Chris

Gotcha - cheers Jonathon.  I didn't know that.

I wonder what Will's is???

she looks sweet. buying a V is always a very wise choice :) hopefully she plays and sounds as good as she looks... sort of classic and 80s at the same time.

edit: was thinking over night that would also have the right look for teh br00taz
