Withdrawal termsDescription
The 1958 Korina Explorer is a recreation of one of the most coveted collector guitars ever built. The Epiphone 1958 Korina Explorer is made in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop and is based on the radical Explorer model and resonant Korina wood, which has a tone reminiscent of top-tier mahogany. Its Korina neck is equipped with a period-correct neck profile and a long tenon to give the electric guitar vintage playability. You get Gibson Burstbucker humbucker pickups and electronics that include Mallory capacitors and CTS potentiometers. The 1958 Korina Explorer's hardware includes an ABR-1 bridge, a gold-plated brass string holder, and luxurious tuning pegs. It is adorned with black top hat knobs with nickel washers, attractive gold hardware, and a beautiful, aged gloss finish.
When it comes to capturing and reproducing the classic Gibson tone, Gibson's Burstbucker pickups have become the go-to pickups. You will love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet treble that these pickups contribute to the 1958 Korina Explorer. The Burstbucker pickup is one of the biggest and most significant developments Gibson has undergone in recent times.
With a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge position and a Burstbucker 2 in the neck position, the Epiphone 1958 Korina Explorer is as close to a 50s-era guitar as it can get. These humbuckers are specially designed to deliver an authentic PAF tone, which can go from dark and intense to smoking hot and delivers the classic bite that rockers and blues guitarists seek.
