Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 20, 2011 On paper this should be a great sounding, lightweight beautifil playing guitar But it just fails when you turn it round imo The top goodness The side clash with top FAIL! And the back without the rest is OK ish, but just too damn underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 59humbucker Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I really like darkbacks on gold tops so that's about as far from this as you can get! I'd hit it if it were cheap but I imagine custom order/special ed = pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I agree. Looks like they got interrupted and didn't finish the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cbh5150 Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Agree with Sean - BUT, a dark top w/that back would look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mistersully Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 not a good look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I agree. A dark back is better with a gold top. Not horrible, though. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8centilli Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I dig the uniqueness of it, except the skid-mark on the lower horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kit_strong Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yikes, definitely not a fan of that color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 59humbucker Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Mmmm, at the moment it's still a decent price I should probably have defined cheap, I payed significantly less that that for my 68ri brand new With days left and more than 30 bidders I think this one will go a bit higher than the average r7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jim85IROC Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'd be ok with it if they used a dark stain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HanSolo Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think it looks like they forgot to finish it. Plus you have that "skid-mark". I am not korina fan, I think it is a very unattractive wood. It always looks like an aborted refinish when left natural. I like goldtops with dark backs. The dark back and neck provide contrast to the gold top and make it stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
