Hey Craig, the aspect ratio for the picture of the Deluxe II looks off. I think you mistyped a number in the timage phpBB tag. All the others look fine.

A G&L P-90..........now that sounds intriguing. I would really like to hear that.

If Paul Gagon pulled off the same bang-up job as he does with the pedals, that guitar should sound fantastic!

I wanted and asked G&L for a Korina Bluesboy in 2009. Now they have one... Hmm. Well, the hell with me; who am I anyway... An email or call would have been nice (I was VERY persistent 2009-2010).

Well, I guess I'll attempt to order one now. Which are lefties and which aren't?

Kidding aside, they look great. I'm sure the fit and finish of these will be on par with the other CC guitars.


Cheers,

Will

Hey Craig,

Yer KILLING me! As I have said before all guitars should be shaped like an ASAT and ya go and do this.

Love the Korina wood and the Deluxe with a stoptail is very intriguing, the Junior II is a perfect companion to my Junior, and I can just hear the Bluesboy in my head. Great job to all.

I can hear my wife now...Sam, you got some splainin' to do!

[zapcosongs]

Will. I suspect there are a couple of folks who genuinely wish they had a "do-over" here. Lots going on over there, most of it very good. - ed

[Baco]

I hope to get some of these for my shop too, I hope my distributor has good news for me soon

[willross]

Just found out that Adirondack Guitar bought 5, yes 5 left-handed Korina Bluesboys!!! Back in July, I asked nicely about this and was told NO WAY!!! Rude.

I thought that this website was the place to get this info FIRST. Not last...

mmmmhhhhh ... very interesting !

edit: just checked their website, it says there are two leftys.

[willross]

I spoke with the owner and he actually ordered 5. Two are about to be shipped and the rest in about 8 weeks...


Cheers,

Will

[zapcosongs]

Excellent news. Almost makes me wish I were left-handed!

I suppose all's well that ends well - or something like that.

I'm just happy for you, Will. - ed

[willross]

Thanks. Oh yeah, I'm a gettin one! If I'd known otherwise, my last two months would have been a little less grumpy... Ed; you da man!


Cheers,

Hey Will,

I guess I am the last to know

As I recall Dave did say that you should contact your G&L dealer about wanting lefty versions of the Korina line. And now it seems that
the dealers (or just Andirondack) were able to make a case for G&L to buiid some. Remember Sales (ie. G&L dealers) really drive what
the factory builds. Like Ed said, "all's well that ends well.".

I'm happy for you that you have been able to order one.

This is really beautiful:

It's more yellow than brown.

What would this sound like with korina versus a ash or alder Bluesboy?

[Ivo]

Aah, so they are being shipped out. I'm still waiting!
The yellow cast could caused be by the pour photograph.

[jwebsmall]

A Korina ASAT Deluxe and ASAT Bluesboy are now listed
in ebay auctions (with pictures). Same coloring. I didn't
check to see if this was the same dealer.

[yowhatsshakin]

I think these are pics provided by G&L of either prototypes or very early models. Reason for saying so it that there is not a sequence number under the Custom Creations Department logo on the back of the headstock nor a S/N number plate but rather the 'old' style S/N decal) nor a Silver Certificate Of Authenticity. I guess that all these guitars look exactly the same everywhere where you see pics.

Just my 2¢.

- Jos

[Ivo]

These look like genuine (low quality) photographs taken by a music store:

But Jos is right about the missing s/n plate. Weird.
Well, soon I can see it for myself. I wonder who will be the first to show pictures here on the forum.

[Michael-GnL-Michael]

Speaking of S/N plates, do custom builds have the serial number plate?

This is a new ASAT with a PLEK date of 6/28/2011 and that looks like a decal.

Not a prototype. I have heard that the Korina Custom Creations models are being built with
waterslide serial numbers. Perhaps because they also apply the Custom Creations decal, which
is also a waterslide. I hope to find out more about this. Dean and I are planning a trip down
south next week.

Stay tuned.

[yowhatsshakin]

But I'm still puzzled by the absence of a # in series underneath the CCD logo. Are they going back to stamping it on the neck plate as they did before '07? Anyway, keep us posted Craig and tell us what you find out! And have a fun trip!

Hi Will,

I don't know whether or not you can on the Custom Creations Korina models. It's best to ask the dealer to find out and change the order if they can be ordered.

Hope this helps.
