2016 Epiphone Korina Explorer Bass - 8.04 LBS

Epiphone proudly presents the new Ltd. Ed. Korina Explorer Bass, a modern remake of one of the most legendary instruments in rock featuring a Korina Body, Epiphone Bass XR™ and XT™ Humbuckers, and gold hardware.

The Ltd. Ed. Korina Explorer Bass is made from Korina, one of the great tone woods for electric instruments. Korina was first used by Gibson in the late 50s for the first limited run of the Flying V and Explorer. Few copies were made but Korina quickly drew the admiration of luthiers and guitarists for its warm tone and strong resonant properties. The new Ltd. Ed. Korina Explorer Bass is finished in Antique Natural to show off the fine and delicate grain. Korina wood is also lightweight so even though the Ltd. Ed. Korina Explorer Bass may look old-school space age radical, its easy to hold and comfortable to play. The profile of the black and white pickguard is reminiscent of the first generation of rare Explorers. The neck has a classic "1960's" SlimTaper™ D-Profile and a 34" scale, perfect for any playing style. The Rosewood fingerboard has a 12 radius, traditional pearloid "Dot" inlays, a 1.61" nut, and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Explorer headstock—a trademark of the best rock and metal guitars--has a mid-60s style "Epiphone" script logo and Epiphone solid nickel premium die-cast machine heads with a 17:1 ratio for fast and reliable tuning.
