...in my gig thread.

 

Just putting the gear away from the gig, so I snapped these quick.

 

It's my Epi '58 Korina V, and peeking out behind is my "Vintage" Lemon dtop, the 2 guitars I used.

 

I'll post up a little gig report at some point...it was REALLY good....:thu:

Both are goodlooking gits, but I really love the look of the Pearl you have.


Can you give some info on that guitar, please.




The Pearl? Hmmmm.

Late 70's MIJ, badged as "Pearl"...a lot of mystery about the brand...some say Matsumoko built, some say Ibanez (which I am inclined to believe having seem some very similar set neck Ibbys).

Fantastic player....gives nothing away to my Gibsons and other LP types.

Based on a Les Paul custom, but may have a slightly thinner body...pickups are fantastic sounding low to medium output humbuckers, very vintage sounding.

My sister found it in her loft when she bought a new house and gave it to me...we don't know if it belonged to an ex or what.

It was in a mess when I got it..bit's missing and broken, but I sorted it.

My sister is no longer with us....I LOVE this guitar.

Hang on, I'll find some Pics:

Nice lookin' V!!! :love:

I want a Gibson Korina V so bad it makes my nuts hurt, but I know there's no chance of me ever justifying it at the current prices. So, I've been sorta looking around for a Hamer Korina Vector on the cheap, but that's almost as unlikely. This Epi looks to me like it will do the job just fine! :thu:
