Epiphone 1958 Korina Explorer, Natural - Secondhand

Full Description

Refined tones from Gibson pickups

Revive those classic PAF tones. Equipped with Gibson Burstbucker pickups, the Epiphone Korina Explorer boasts sonics full of character and detail. Sonics that are accurate to the highly sought-after originals thanks to Gibson's loving recreation of those fifties' tones.

The neck Burstbucker 2 serves up a thick, bassy, and punchy tone with a smooth edge, perfect for your rhythm sections or soulful solos. But if you need a bit more presence in the mix or give extra bite to your riffs then the hotter Burstbucker 3 at the bridge is what you need. It gives your sound extra snarl and roar without overstepping the vintage character, perfect for the '58 Explorer's vibe.

Premium electronics

Not only are the pickups of outstanding Gibson quality, but the wiring behind them accentuates your tone. If you like to sculpt your sound on the fly with subtle adjustments to the controls, you'll love this! Featuring CTS pots, a Mallory capacitor and a Switchcraft 3-way pickup switch, you can expect a smooth and responsive action from your controls, with pronounced differences between each tone and volume setting.

All-korina accuracy

Just like the original. This limited-edition recreation of the '58 Explorer sports a korina body and neck for a correct weight, feel and appearance. The neck is fashioned into an authentic 1958 Explorer profile, affording you riffing action that closely matches a genuine '58 V. It's sleek, vintage, and unforgettably fast!

Explorer's Hardware

From the LockTone stop bar to the authentic to the accurately shaped headstock, this special edition looks the part. And not only that, but the premium hardware also provides you with a reliable, and dependable performance. An ABR-1 TOM bridge ensures an accurate intonation all over the scales, and teams with the stop bar and deluxe machine heads to ensure rock solid tuning stability.
