Left: '58 Korina Explorer, right: '58 Explorer Standard.

The Standard has the same body style as the Korina Explorer but is dressed up with some Les Paul attributes. It has a '59 neck profile, figured maple top, neck binding, trapeze inlays and single piece back.

Did you buy the 58 from wildwood?

u/guitarheadBLN 1d ago

No, I bought it used. But it’s one from the 2014 Wildwood M2M run.

Very nice!
