Gary Moore Tribute Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 This should be my LAST project guitar for while but here it is A KOREAN September 2003 - 1958 Korina Flying V The plan with this one is to get it resprayed in Alpine White & fit Gibson Pickups I'm hoping to get it like this: Accoring to all the research I've done the alpine 58 was a VERY limited run from 2000 BUT was fitted with black & nickle parts, so I've decided to go down this route to get the guitar I'm after...

RaSTuS Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 That's gorgeous as it is Snakey, don't ruin it, get a beat up one and mod it, oh and HNGD too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It's BEAUTIFUL just like it is!!!!! are you SURE you want to refinish??????? WHITE would also be a great look, I'm just a "wood-Grain" nut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's BEAUTIFUL just like it is!!!!! are you SURE you want to refinish??????? WHITE would also be a great look, I'm just a "wood-Grain" nut! It cost me £200 with a case! thats part of the reason why I jumped at it. (No way would I respray a £400 one) I have plenty of wood grain guitars so I have to agree with you, but a white V is so unique and awesome, im just desperate to get one...

RaSTuS Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 but a white V is so unique and awesome, im just desperate to get one... I do like white Vs also, and black ones, and red ones, and.... My white one starts on the third row, only two of them were made, one black and this white one. Parker White Hornet Prototype V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 To put a solid colour over a wood with such a beautiful natural grain would be of great detriment to the guitar. As another post suggested-hold off until one in poor condition comes along,enjoy your guitar-she's a beauty but to paint her would be defacing a beauty.

SGgypsyboy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 it would be a travesty to put ANY solid color over that V. And if you ask someone to do the painting they are just going to look at you like you have lost some marbles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 HNGD! I disagree with what the others are saying, I like Korina Explorers, but Korina Vs have never looked right to me...Go for the finish you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcham Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I agree with some of the others that she's beautiful as she is and you should find a real beater to mod. Painting over that great finish just seems wrong somehow. And HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 When I first saw this, I thought "wow! that is a sweet looking V" no way should anyone try to paint over that. But then I later realized that David Gilmour's famous "Black Strat" is actually a sunburst Strat that was painted over with a black finish. I guess when it comes down to it, it's your guitar and if you think it will look good painted over then go for it man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Beautiful guitar, Solid ... I know I love mine. The only thing I couldn't live with were the black knobs, so I changed them and the switch tip ... otherwise she is stock: I have to agree that painting over such a fine piece of wood seems a bit of a shame ... but as was stated earlier ... whatever makes you happy is good with me. If I could make one small suggestion: if you are really that keen on a white one, I've heard some very good things (and seen some great YouTube videos on these Saga kits: http://www.instrumentalley.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Saga-FV-10&click=35 Just a thought. Congrats on a super instrument regardless of what color it ends up being! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
