Dude--someone stole part of your explorer!

They should have given you a scratch/dent price fer that.

Really though...neat guitar--what's it called?

AXE · 04-20-2008, 10:28 PM

Thanks , So I'm thinking mine may be worth a little more maybe , Because of the rarity of the Korina's ?

AXE · 04-20-2008, 10:29 PM

From St. Charles Guitar Exchange? I heard the owner of the place just died recently.

AXE · 04-20-2008, 10:37 PM

Thats the place , Damn sorry to hear about the death , the guy was really cool to work with on equipment . Bought a Firebird V from him too ..
Joe Perry was a good customer of his also ...

jman08 · 04-21-2008, 10:09 PM

Yeah, I was really disappointed when the St. Charles Guitar Exchange closed. He had another shop called Empire that he was running before he died. Man, I bought a few guitars from him and he knew my dad from back in the day.

AXE · 04-23-2008, 09:39 PM

He Sold this one to me for a sweet deal ... Damn I really am sorry he's gone.

sorry to hear about the owner!

Jake 2112 · 05-04-2008, 09:28 PM

What's the price of those? Is it 4k

AXE · 05-04-2008, 10:06 PM

There was a mahogany model on ebay for $ 4,900.00.
ONLY 25 WERE MADE AND THEY NEVER COME UP FOR SALE-MADE IN THE GIBSON USA CUSTOM SHOP

THIS WAS A LIMITED RUN CUSTOM SHOP MODEL THAT SOLD FOR $5500.00

MODELED AFTER ERIC CLAPTON'S CUT EXPLORER

Out of the 25 made only four were korina only two of these are still in existance .

So I'm thinking a little more for the Korina ...
