Description

A very rare Gibson Custom Shop Edition stamped Korina Explorer from 1983. This guitar is all original except for a replaced Gotoh bridge and Schaller strap buttons. It plays great with very little fret wear and is housing its original Tim Shaw pickups that sound huge. It is in overall good condition with some general dings and scratches, buckle wear, hardware patina, and some green discoloration on the back edge of the guitar near the strap button. Includes its original hard shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
