Here’s a killer Epiphone ’58 Korina Explorer that’s been tastefully modded into a tone monster and player’s dream.
This one started life in an ebony finish, but the original owner stripped it down to bare wood and gave it a natural refinish — now it rocks that raw, classic Korina vibe. The refinish isn’t perfect and has some visible orange peel, but it gives it a cool relic/player-grade aesthetic. Definitely not a case queen — but that’s not the point here.
Where this guitar really shines is in the upgrades:
- Gibson Burstbucker pickups deliver rich, articulate tone with bite and warmth.
- Grover tuners keep everything locked in and stable.
- Middle position is wired out-of-phase, giving it that Tele-like snap and quack that cuts through a mix.
- Cosmetically it has some wear and the refin has its quirks, but structurally and sonically it’s rock solid. Pickguard is a little faded. Action is low, intonation is spot-on, and it sounds massive.
Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. Reverb safe shipping with full insurance included.
I bought this guitar, inspected it, photographed it, dialed it in, and I'll be the one packing it. If something isn't right when it arrives, you're not filing a ticket — you're emailing the person who put it in the box.
Same guitar, same packing, same insurance, same 3-day return window you'd get anywhere else I list it. It just costs less here, because there's no platform fee in the price.
Questions before you buy? Ask me anything — more photos, a specific measurement, or anything the listing doesn't cover.

Returns
Returns
3 days from delivery to decide. That's your window to let me know, not to get it back to me. Play it, check it against the listing, and message me if anything's off.
Not as described, or damaged in shipping? Full refund, including the shipping you paid, and I pay return shipping. “As described” means everything in the listing: photos, condition notes, specs and included accessories. Every guitar is insured for its full price. If it's damaged in transit, I handle the carrier claim, and you choose between a repair at my expense or a full refund.
Changed your mind? Return it in the condition it arrived, with everything it came with, for a flat $150 fee. The fee is the same whether the guitar was $900 or $9,000, not a percentage. Return shipping is the buyer's responsibility.
Start any return through the return policy page or contact me directly before shipping anything back.
