I purchased this gorgeous, mint 2011, Epiphone '58 Korina Explorer from the original owner about 5 years ago and it has remained in it's Epiphone hard shell case until I was ready to transfor it into a Tribute to Allen Collins----the iconic Explorer player. This superb Natural Explorer came to me upgraded with Seymour Ducan JB 59 pickups. I had my guitar tech/luthier install a gold maestro style tremolo and I found a matching gold Bigsby style handle and personally attached it. The gold maestro handle will be included along with origibal tailpiece and posts. This guitar has been set up to play with low, fast, smooth action, accurate intonation and will ship in it's OHSC which shows some wear.

If you examine the 4th photo, you will note that I have not filled the post holes----they are pretty much unnoticeable while playing. You can leave them, plug them, fill them in as you choose. I will also point out that I have not attempted to bend/shape the trem handle like Allen's.

As you may know, these Explorers require a very large case, are larger than normal and expensive to ship. Local checkout and pickup here in South Florida is available and encouraged.
