I have always been a little afraid of Korina. I have never had the chance to compare it to the woods I like and I don't want to buy an expensive guitar to find out I don't like it. I watched that happen to someone on a forum once. They received a custom built guitar and didn't like it because of the Korina body. He still has the guitar, to my knowledge, but doesn't play it. There was some special deal in him getting it so he can't bring himself to sell it for the fear of ticking off the builder. I can only imagine how difficult that situation is to be in and don't want to end up there.
I asked some questions about a Studio that had Korina body and neck before I bought the one I purchased. I was just afraid I would lose some of the traits that mahogany brings to the mix. I would still like to check a Korina guitar out but not when it could cost me a ton to sell something I ended up not liking.
