Original '58 Gibson Korina Vs and Explorers are among the world's most desired of all vintage instruments, with prices in excess of $500K, so the above will appeal to those players and collectors seeking an instrument that is the optimum in sound and tone, but at a somewhat more realistic pricing level.
