Epiphone 1958 Korina Flying V Electric Guitar
Korina body with set Mahogany neck. Dual humbuckers. Gold hardware. Now ships with modern tuners instead of vintage style.
"Great bang for the buck"
Feature:
Came with a cheap cable. the features are pretty basic. It is a copy of a guitar built in 1958.
Quality:
This guitar is very well made. I can always depend on it. I gig out with it at least once a week with many of those being "outdoor" gigs, which play hell on guitar.
Value:
this guitar sells at a very modest price. Look at the Gibson version then look at the epiphone version. you would probably save close to $11,500. No Joke
Desirability:
I have lusted after a guitar like this for 20 yrs. I just need Epiphone to make one I could afford
Sound:
The Only reason I give the sound an 8, is because when you roll the volume back to get a cleaner tone, it gets really muddy, almost like you were turning the tone knob down to 0. It also has some hum when both volumes are turn all the way down. When the pickups are turned up to 10, it has the kind of tone you would expect out of a v. Sustain for days
Ease of Use:
This guitar plays great! NO it does not play as well as the Gibson model, But the Gibson model is selling for 12000+ these days!
Support:
Never called them
Overall:
I love this guitar. I would replace it if it were ever stolen

"really cool guitar in a sea of guitars. tweaking it to your specs will make it an even more playable"
Feature:
absolutly beutiful guitar. i can't stop looking at it!
Quality:
aside from what i already stated, this guitar is an exellent value. imput jack is going to be an issue.
Value:
great value. but you will need to do a little tweeking, at least i'm going to
Desirability:
all you have to do is look at it. i've wanted one for some time, and it was well worth the wait!
Sound:
i'm gonna get a new bridge p/u. way too much feedback! also, pots are really scratchy. easily replaceable
Ease of Use:
extreamly playable, really nice neck. needs better tuners. they say grover on them, but i've used grovers, and these don't match up
Support:
never needed it, yet
Overall:
i would definatly replace this if lost or stolen. as i've said, there are minor issues that are easily solvible. what i like most about it is, it's stunning to look at, and very playable.

"Classic V Rocker, Well Worth the Pittance"
Feature:
Pretty standard features, tone, volume and three way switch. Gold hardware and klusion copy tuners. Some complain about the tuners but I never experienced a problem. Stayed in tune without issue.
Quality:
Fit, finish and build on this guitar was excellent; especially for the price. The korina made the guitar extremely light but didn't dissapoint on the tone. I've got a PRS McCarty with the brazilian rosewood neck and fretboard and this guitar was very comparable once the pick-ups were changed. A lght but very sturdy guitar.
Value:
This guitar is an incredible value.
Desirability:
Tell you what, this a great looking rocker with tons of sex appeal. Classic looks and very playable with lots of tone. I wish I still had it but some low life sob broke into my house in Memphis stole it along with several others. I'm looking for another at the right price...seems they've gone up in price.
Sound:
Great sustain, very easy to play. Could use a little more fret work but not bad. I changed the pick-ups out, put in Rio Grande Buckers and got rid of the squeal. Great tone in the neck postiton and very usable tone control.
Support:
Never had a problem...don't know
Overall:
I've owned Gibsons, PRS's, Fenders, and Hamers but this was a first Epi. I was shocked at the quality and playability of this guitar. Investing a couple more dollars for pick-up and upgraded hardware and you've got a truely great guitar. But if you don't want to invest a few more dollars, it's a hell of a deal right off the shelf.

"Korina"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:The three-mode switch is noce, and the tone knobs are helpful. I would like a whammy bar on it, but ohter than that, it was awesome.
Quality:
The mode switch broke within a month, and the neck twisted in a year, but the neck was from the cold (i;m from alaska). the switch could be a little stronger.
Value:
It is awesome
Sound:
It has a nice ring for me. The sustain is there, but it is not overpowering. It is eay to get a good tone with this.
Ease of Use:
Pretty easy for a good sound. Almost all string types float on this guitar.
