Infatuated with the famous Modernistic Korina solidbodies of the late 1950s, Eddie Carlino wanted to add a modern flair to classic specs, and bring it back 50 years later. The 9.5 lb Identity (top right) and the 8.5 lb Impuse (bottom right) are available in a limited run of 25 guitars each. Both guitars feature natural-finish Korina body, two-piece Korina V/C-shaped neck, ebony fingerboard, pearl dot inlays and smooth, rounded fingerboard edges, nicely shaped medium-jumbo frets and a classic 24.75" scale. They’re equipped with Wilkinson tuners, Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion pickups, Master Volume, Master Tone, Eck Lo-Fi Booster, 3-position pickup selector, and TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with either stoptail or string-through offset V tailpiece of triple-plated solid brass. Control cavities feature threaded metal inserts, battery driveway and a laser-etched control diagram on the inner backplate. A crocodile tolex, form-fit hard case is included, as well as a signed certificate of authenticity.
