Gibson 1958 Korina Explorer Electric Guitar

Advantages: Light, Playability and Price
Disadvantages: None

...The Korina Explorer is a guitar that I purchased because I was drawn in by the gorgeous natural finish and the very unorthodox shape, but I fell in love with it straight away. The appearance up close is incredible, and as soon as I plugged in, I knew I was never going to give this guitar up. The guitar features 2 humbuckers which give plenty of punch when turned up and distorted, and it also has a fantastic low action that allows a wide array of musical styles to be played. I play mostly punk, metal and hardcore, and this guitar allowed me to carry a fantastic sound throughout any style of music I was playing. And at £275, it is arguably the best bargain going in the guitarists world.... Read review

Advantages: nice to look at
Disadvantages: none that i can see

...i had a go on one of these quite resently it was my friends how got it for christmas and i must say it is 2o times betterthan an encore. nice to look at nicer sound easier to play etc. t has humbucker pic ups and 6 strings 24 frets so u no the stander stuff u see on all guitars really. it is black with like a white scratch plate and silver pic ups with a bit of gold on either side. depending on what epiphone explorer you get depend on the price but they tend to be around £300 so other all it is nice to look at and easy to play so i think you should get this guitar because even if you have just started you show up ith one of these it will look like you no what you are doing...

Advantages: Great performance and price
Disadvantages: The shape can be awkward when its in a case

...i bought this guitar about 2 or 3 years ago and it was my first propper full sized guitar. it has been dragged on a bus with me every week and has not even chipped the paint, it is a very strong guitar. the unique shape of the guitar also makes it very easy to reach beyond the 12th fret making it ideal for begginers who are trying to copy their rock idols or for the rock idols themselves it is also a practical guitar that will never let you down during a performance. but the shape of the guitar also makes the guitar difficult to play sat down but after a few weeks it you become used to it and you will never want to put it down. i got mine for £200 which is a great price for the satisfaction you will get....
