hendrixian Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Is it real Korina or just enough to call it a Korina V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 or just enough to call it a Korina V? BINGO! The Epiphone "Korina V" has only a thin veneer layer of Korina (if even that is real). There are evident seems on the edges of the body. I will say they look pretty damn good from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Korina is a made up name. The wood is actually Limba. So, technically, nothing is all or partial Korina. And yes, they look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why they also offer them in black and still advertise them as Korina models. There are some Korina models with just a veneer, but I'm not positive of which ones off hand. http://www.epiphone....CollectionID=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
