THE KORINA EXPLORER
The Korina Explorer was light years ahead of its time when first introduced in 1958. With its angular, asymmetrical body and pointed headstock, the Explorer was unlike any other guitar on the planet.
The Explorer was such a radical departure and polarised opinions so much that only around 100 of the famed instruments were produced at the legendary Kalamazoo, Michigan factory.
The few that have survived the sixty year journey are now highly prized collectibles that sell for half a million dollars or more. Now, Epiphone brings back the one-of-a-kind legend in all its original glory made from beautiful Korina.
