What a fantastic looking guitar, that's one lucky new owner!

Gorgeous - I think your Vs are nicer than your Lions, Jon.

That looks great!

Sadly I can't afford one - happy to take one on trial though  :D

It looks really nice Jon, and I'm sure it is great to play.  What is the sound like - I always think they are clearer than an LP (at least the ones I've played and heard seem that way).

Korina (Limba or Idigbo) is funny , because play it unplugged and it sounds really bright & zingy , almost like an ash bodied guitar does, but plugged in they are warm and smooth and tuneful.

 :o :shock: :lol:

I guess they are my first love - too many years idolising both Schenker brothers, Paul Stanley and Wolf Hoffman (ACCEPT)
Favourite guitars are V, Les paul, Ibanez Iceman, Mockingbird, Small bodied Explorer, and perversely I like a tele with body contours

Nothing wrong with that!  :)

I've come to the conclusion I'm too small for Vs or Explorers, but I have this idea of a korina guitar, gold hardware, white scratchplate, black plastic parts, tune-o-matic with strings through body..... but in a singlecut Les Paul Special shape....

and you know we could easily do that :P

You probably remember the two Korina Lion Specials we made before


I still regret letting this one go:

I agree Jonathan's Vs might be a bit nicer than even his Lions. It looks like theres a bit more fire in them (if thats possible!).

Those korina Lions were also quite memorable. I just played the aquamarine one, but it came out really well.

The Aquamarine one was extremely fine, as was the Emerald Green one. 

But I think my favourite (that I've seen "in the flesh") is the all-mahogany Lion Special that's still on the site.  Beautiful thing, and I love the "antique violin" colour (which is probably completely the wrong description).

Any plans for your 50th, Andy?  :D
