It's hard to compare apples to apples, here, but that's the tendency i've experienced. Does it sound pretty much the same in the same style of guitar The latest epiphone korina v should not be overlooked

While it is a hefty increase in price from accepted epiphone fare
I don't think many appreciate what a hidden gem these (and the explorers) are
Expensive for an epiphone isn't crazy money. There has been speculation that the epiphone korinas have cheap wood of a different type under the veneer In my case, i have a flying v epiphone Looking at the sides and under the pickup cavities of my v, i can say it's definitely korina but is in pieces, glued together
Korina (or limba) is a great tonewood, period, and will work with all kinds of guitars It's probably just tradition that it's associated with setnecks because it was gibson that first popularized korina, and it's closer to the mahogany end of the spectrum than it is to alder or ash. In my experience korina has always tended to be a lighter weight wood, lighter than mahogany I've owned 2 korina guitars, a hamer v and a now own a gibson version
Both lightweight and both sang with that beautiful mid/upper mid sweetness that people always talk about when talking about korina.
I'm curious as to how come most builders pair a korina body with a korina neck (as opposed to a maple neck) Is it because the maple neck cancels out some of the nice frequencies of the. 7 lbs 13 oz width at the nut 42.9 mm width at the 1st fret
Using the custom builder, a chambered korina body with flame maple top and korina neck with indian rosewood fingerboard will be approx $150 aud more than chambered alder body flame maple top and roasted maple neck with indian rosewood fingerboard. Is korina the same species as mohagany
