Your Explorer is beyond beautiful--wow! I am curious who built it for you...Banker maybe? Nice light-weight too.

Does the builder’s name start with a B and D? I don’t want to derail the thread. These are some great looking guitars.

Did anyone else notice how Gibson was going to launch the Korina Moderne and Futura? The listings are gone from their website now.

I did not notice that, when was there anything on the gibson site about either model, was this custom shop?

My understanding was these were only ever leaked as placeholders on dealer's websites and dealer's Reverb posting, not on Gibson's site.

I never saw them on Gibson.com, although maybe they flashed up there and I missed them.

They were definitely up on the website and on Reverb. I wonder what had happened.
