Korina Body Electric Guitars

Korina is a tonewood whose name echoes through guitar history. Iconically used for the original Gibson Flying V and Explorer guitars in the late ‘50s, Korina delivers a warm, resonant tone with a touch more midrange sweetness and shimmer than traditional Mahogany. It’s also lighter in colour and weight, whilst featuring stunning natural grain.

Nowadays, Korina is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance as a boutique choice, proudly featured in modern models from brands like Reverend Guitars, as well as in authentic 1958-style Flying V and Explorer models from Gibson and Epiphone.

Although a notoriously tricky wood to work with, the tonal qualities it produces more than justify the effort. Full-bodied, harmonically rich and bass-friendly whilst keeping mid and top-end responsiveness, Korina is a classic choice for a reason.
