Korina Body
| A Custom made Korina Tonewood body made to retrofit on Albert May's Ibanez
Petrucci Guitar. When Albert rebuilt his Petrucci Guitar, he used his original
neck and my shop made him this wonderfully resonant Korina body. The tonal
difference was so incredible that a even a beginner could immediately hear the
difference.
Notice the step routed pickup cavity. This allows the replacement pickups to mount directly to the body instead of floating on springs. This factor makes the pickups and guitar resonate together. More gain before feedback and significantly clearer highs and tighter lows. We compared the original Dimarzio Pickups (Stock) against the Seymour Duncan Black/Backs TM We were astounded by the difference. The Dimarzio's distorted horribly on the low end compared to the Duncans. The other comparison of note was the Tremolo. We compared the Ibanez white metal Tremolo against the Original Floyd Rose. The tonal difference was again immediately apparent. The Original Floyd Rose is made to extremely close tolerances. The steel is hardened to 60 Rockwell. Not only did the guitar hold tune better, it sounded better. The original Floyd was much more responsive than the Ibanez. |
Because I build so many replacement necks
I always have new or used original Ibanez,
BC Rich, ESP & Jackson necks on hand.

Hamer Californian Styled Custom Made Guitar
Custom Made in 1996
Problem: The customer wanted a fat neck that would never break !!!
Ed Roman's shop removed the
original neck and made a brand new one.
It's real easy to make them smaller but when they want them
bigger it can be a royal pain.
