Custom Built '58 Korina Replica Aged w/ Tom Holmes Pickups 2023 - Natural White Limba w/ Brazilian Rosewood Board

This is an awesome custom-built '58 Korina Flying V-style guitar. This white limba creation is an exacting replica of the iconic model, done in a nitro finish that is aged to perfection. It's built in the USA and was completed in 2023.

The guitar features a two piece chevron joined old growth body, quarter sawn figured old growth neck, and a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. It has a '50s single action truss rod, 12" radius, jumbo frets, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and nylon nut. The pickup surrounds are butyrate M-69 rings, there is a replica no-wire ABR-1 bridge, and an aged brass tailpiece. The electronics consist of CTS 500k pots with NOS Centralab .02" ceramic disk capacitor, a Switchcraft 3-way toggle, and Switchcraft jack.

Originally the guitar held a set of custom-made replica PAF pickups with aged butyrate bobbins. The original pickups are included with the guitar, but this one actually comes loaded with a set of Tom Holmes humbuckers with aged covers. The pickups are an H-450 and H-455 both signed by Holmes. They are aged by Holmes and the covers have never been removed.

The guitar plays wonderfully. It's effortless under the picking hand, slinky, and easy to bend on. It's extremely resonant with quite a depth of tone off the body. Simply a fantastic guitar in all ways. It weighs 6lbs 12oz. The neck is a correct-feeling 58-style C that measures .935 to .975 at the 1st and 12th.

Ships in a hardshell case and includes the original custom-made PAF replicas.
