1999 Epiphone '58 1958 Reissue Explorer (Korina)
Made in Korea in 1999, this was the Epiphone "Korina" model that was designed to replicate the original '58 Explorer on a budget. Made by the Unsung factory in South Korea, these are a higher quality build than modern Chinese Epiphones.
Epiphone advertises these as having a Korina body with a Korina neck and a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, it weighs 3.7kg's. Slim 60's style profile with a 43mm nut width, this one appears to be all original with Epiphone pickups and hardware.
Good used condition as pictured with some sticker tan on the body and pickguard as pictured. Received a full professional setup and service prior to listing including a fretboard oil, fret polish and truss adjustment. Plays and sounds great with plenty of life in the frets and a straight neck.
