zenfire on 09/05/2012	I liked this guitar the moment I saw it. Traditional styling yes but classy and well exicuted. This is all the guitar you need. I like it and unlike some of you I also like the locking tuners, I have em' on my hard tail strat. Nice looking neck and headstock too!
Jazz Zappa on 08/07/2012	I love the design and tone of this guitar. Hope to see offset guitar customs as well. I have the tradesman model made by sir John Marshall. It sounded excellent compared to my other teles...
Bob's Your Uncle on 07/18/2012	Geeze, what's with that neck heel? And you pronounce it (zer uh coat a)
David on 07/18/2012	@GMac, absolutely wrong. All the Buzz Feiten System does is correct for the nut being too high. Guitars with zero frets don't need the Buzz Feiten nut to play in tune. Locking tuners are a nice idea, but I think useless on a hard tail guitar. If you learn to put your strings on properly, and not have excessive windings around the posts, and stretch them before tuning, they will stay in tune. I didn't even watch the demo, but I'm tired of these guitars in all the same shapes. Tat's all the imagination that could have been mustered? Let's do a Les Paul copy. Or a Strat copy. Or even a PRS copy. And the PRS single cutaway (let's please stop saying "single cut") is just a copy of a Les Paul. Guitars are boring these days, and it's because the players are boring and stuck in the whole vintage fad. There's nothing new here... move along.
Uninvisible on 07/15/2012	Any player with a brain knows locking tuners are substantially better than standard tuners. But seriously how can anyone hate on this piece when you're not holding it? Gimme a break. Hater nerds sitting in front of a computer when they should be in the woodshed. It looks cool to me and comparing it to a korean prs se is laughable.
GMac on 07/15/2012	I see nothing but garbage here about this axe, and I think it kills! It's in tune, and if you know anything about guitars, NO guitar, except one with a Buzz Feiten system, or a few other necks I've seen Frank Gambale use,are never COMPLETELY in tune. you guys are on another planet! What I'd like to know, is how much is this piece? I'd love to own one?
John Marshall on 07/15/2012	For those of you commenting, this guitar has no resemblance to a PRS anything. There are 2 woop-de-doos on the lower bout making it very ergonomic to play and it wont slide off your lap. I has a 14" lower-bout and is approx. 3" thick, also very heavy. Our headstock is much smaller and the KORINA body is a piece of wood I have had for 3 years and decided to make a new model for this show. There is a belly cut on the back side and its substantial.the round-over is hand shaped using finger planes and there is a recess at the neck where it meets the body, also very substantial. This is a very unique single-cut designed guitar and not like anything you THINK you may have ever seen. John Marshall
Guytron on 07/15/2012	Carl Cullpepper transcribed Surfing with the Alien among countless other tunes.
happydog on 07/15/2012	Looks almost exactly like the PRS Korina SE Singlecut. Sorry, but it's true.
CapnZilog on 07/15/2012	I do like the rounded edges and back contouring on this. It's a bit like the Ibanez SR605NTF SoundGear 5-string bass, down to the natural finish.
