Some of you guys may well remember I built a Korina Lion , which was a real stunner and was finished in a turquoise colour that looked a bit more aquamarine due to the yellow hue of the Korina - here she is :
Loaded with Bare Knuckle VH2s and featuring an impossibly hard ebony fingerboard (was hell to cut for inlays)
Hardware choices were Sperzel machineheads, Earvana compensated tuning nut, tonepros bridge and locking studs and an aluminium tailpiece.
I was sure that I would keep this beast for myself, but alas it was not to be
A regular customer came in and tried it and put the asking price down on the counter and I had to let him take her home.
So I consoled myself that I already had an identical spec (apart from the rosewood fingerboard) guitar in the works.
A couple of months went by and the customer popped in to buy strings and to tell me how thrilled he was with the guitar.
He asked if I was still feeling heartbroken to have let her go and I explained that I already had plans underway for a similar guitar and this time I figured that it had to be purple.
I showed him the work in progress and you can probably guess what happened........he bought that one too! (or at least put a deposit on it and would pay off in instalments.
So the time has come to unveil the "sister" guitar- here she is:
The only other spec changes to the original is that this one has a Graphtech Ghost Piezo bridge , so she can turn on acoustic sounds too, and the inlays are a slightly different pattern
