The Moderne design was patented along with the Explorer and Flying V in 1958. Gibson shipping records note a total of 22 instruments shipped in 1958 and 1959 as “Korina (Mod. Gtr.), but this is generally attributed to be either the Explorer (both the Explorer and Flying V were described in the 1958 price list as “Modernistic Guitars”). The Moderne never appeared in a price list, catalog or shipping record. According to eyewitnesses, Gibson did display a Moderne at a trade show in 1958, but no original Moderne is known to exist. PLEASE NOTE: AT THIS TIME I WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE USA..I WILL HOWEVER SHIP OUTSIDE THE USA ONCE CITES REQUIREMENTS ARE CHANGED AND I UNDERSTAND SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER 2019 CITES WILL BE MODIFIED AND ALLOW MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO BE SHIPPED WITH LESS REGULATIONS...
