Korina, or not to Korina?

Recommended Posts

Im sure many of you saw this Heritage on Reverb.   It was listed as a TV Yellow H137 Mahogany.

After looking at the pics and comparing to other 137s, I believe this is a Korina 137 Custom.   The seller was asking a pretty steep price with REALLY STEEP shipping....I finally haggled a market-wise price and it on its way to paw paw.

Take a look at the pics...especially the neck wood....that is not mahogany! (at least I dont think so..lol)   I welcome everyone's comments, and opinions....tell me what you think.

This one came over the Pacific to find its new home.
 
Its a 2010 Heritage H137 TV Yellow.
 
A great example of a pre-PlazaCorp Heritage....awesome build quality.  Great see-thru TV finish!!!  I was surprised to not find a model sticker on the back of the control plate...must have got forgotten before it got shipped out from the factory. When I first bought it, I thought it might be korina, but after seeing the natural wood color inside, i'm pretty sure its mahogany.
 
Mahogany body/neck
Rosewood board with mother of pearl blocks
Lollar P90s
Grover tuners
 
It has a medium sized C neck.   Its in amazing condition for 9 yes old!  Its a great weight at 7.5 lbs...very well balanced.   It sets up very nice...very good intonation.   Plays amazing!   The Lollars produce monster tone!  A real joy to play!!!

nice.  i have same thing 2010.  thought mine was korina too.

mine has a swapped SD Antiquity in the bridge.  Original Lollar in the neck.

did yours have pups swapped at some point?  then returned?  solder looks shoddy/redone.
