brentrocks Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 What is it with Korina? Why does it have such great tone? Put a rosewood fretboard on it and it's even better! That formula with humbuckers is Heavenly! That formula with P90s... MINDBLOWING! This 15-year-old Heritage H137 has a 1-piece Korina body and a one-piece Korina neck. Topped off with an Indian Rosewood board with mother of pearl traps! Completing the package, is a pair of LOLLAR P90s!!!! It's kind of ironic that this guitar is here now...I remember hanging out down at Heritage when these were being made. If I remember right, there was 6 of these made. 3 of them had 3 p90s and 3 of them had 2 p90s. I think 4 of the 6 had bound and inlayed headstock veneers. As with most White Limba guitars, the weight is very nice! The neck on this one is a really comfy 50s carve. The H137 basically has the same electronics setup as a Les Paul special...2 vol/2 tone/3 way toggle. This 137 has a really fat, warm tone! The Lollars sound awesome!!! A great player too!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Seacup Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Slab top Juniors are tons of fun. I was always partial to soap bar P90s, though. The dog ears just look funky to me. Love the wrap tail! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
