sdgails Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 you, my friend, have the rare korina sg----- I used to own one until I lost it in hurricane Katrina. they appear on ebay sometimes, i loved mine. Ive been told that this run was made with left over supply of korina after the korina explorers and V's were made.Its basically a g400 korina I believe. I have since upgraded to a GIbby 61 sg ri. If you want top dollar, throw it on EBAY. I actually have the pieces of it left over from the storm. When I went back to my house after the storm, the whole guitar just fell apart where he wood was was glued----really interesting. By the way, i LOST 17 GUITARS IN THAT STORM,also a ton of pedals and 4 amps.........unreal. maybe ill post pics of the aftermath if i get around to it.

RotcanX Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Strangely enough, this guitar was actually listed as 'solid' Korina in the 1999 catalog. I never looked at one closely enough to ascertain if this was in fact true or merely the work of an overzealous copywriter. You can easily tell if G-400s have been veneered by checking along the edges where the body scarfs begin for changes in colour/grain pattern though (you get the same effect on EE G-400s with their African mahogany top and back veneers). The 'leftover Korina' story sounds suspect since the Vs and Explorers are definitely not Korina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've never been a huge fan of SGs, but that is one good-looking guitar. Between the sheer beauty of it, and the Gibson in my arms right now (which must go back to its owner eventually), I really want to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
