    Is this an expensive Epiphone....yes, but it's totally worth it when you consider the build quality, Gibson pickups, CTS and Mallory components, and beautiful hardshell case. Mine is 6.3 lbs and looks like a true rock classic. Had to get a setup done but plays like a dream now!

    I bought both the Epiphone 1958 Korina Explorer and Flying V from Ron in the Cincinnati Guitar dept. I'm going to make this short and sweet. Ron's service not only made sure both guitars were set up and ready to go for the by time I hit the door, he made absolutely sure that both guitar were flawless. On Epiphones' end all I can say is that both of these guitars SCREAM rock and roll. The tone and play-ability were exceptional. I've owned over 50+ guitars in my time and only a very few have ever measured up in craftmenship, guts, and pure playing pleasure. They have even beaten my three Gibson Custom shop guitars in quality and play-abilty
