Made in Korea in 2009, 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 just under 3.7kg's. Slim 60's style profile with a 43.5mm nut width, this one appears to be all original with Epiphone pickups and hardware along with button tuners.
This example is in excellent condition for it's age with almost no signs of wear or use. The neck is straight and the frets are shiny and smooth, includes the original hardcase and catalogs from Epiphone.
