You got that right here here!

You are truely a guitar hero. Trying to fix that broken neck. Incredible. The Black One has a truely great sound and the playing is getting next level. Thanks again mate.

The guitaristas is such a great channel and he’s absolutely right in his conclusions about Epiphone! I own all the typical US made American guitars but I keep my trinity of Epiphone custom in Alpine white, Cantrell wino and 59 Limited addition first in the rack next to the couch🤗

I paid $599 for my Korina Flying V, it is the version prior to the newest release that did not have the Gibson pickups and sans case, I did purchase a case for it($139), but it is not the square type, almost exactly like the black case you have, but mine has gold hardware/latches I played it last night and it needs a small truss rod adjustment. Confessions of a guitar addict. I love my Korina V, it is so light and resonant, almost acoustic-like in how it projects.

Hi. I just wanted to say hands down you have the best guitar channel on KZread. The Korina V is offered as a lefty, so tempting.

Looking forward to seeing the repair. I remember seeing an interview with Gary Rossington where he said that they always sound better once they have been broken and repaired

Best thing on KZread, which I most look forward to hearing my friend talk about and jam guitats. Got me a PRS 245 this week. Pure love!

Another great episode, your playing was lovely testing it out. Really looking forward to next week's fun.

Only Colin can do a review on a guitar with a broken headstock 😂 Well done and back to Les Paul’s, SG’s and Tele’s

I’m really looking forward to see that the repair work on the headstock. It looks like a nice clean break so shouldn’t be too difficult to repair. Hope all goes well and looking forward to the next chapter ☘️

Looking forward too nest week! Thanks Colin

Great plan. Looking forward to the next installment.

So cool. Cannot wait til next week! This I must see!

Great vid and so much looking forward to next week's episode good luck repairing it colin 👍🎸

Hi Colin, During last week’s unboxing of the two flying V’s, it became clear to me, that the black shaped epiphone hard case you purchased, provided much better protection for the guitar as it ensured that the guitar remained held, static inside the case, even if the case was delivered inside a larger oblong cardboard box, and the parcel was stored in transit, upside down! The brown pink lined case unfortunately did not offer the same protection for the guitar inside, especially if, somewhere along the way, in transit, the package was stored upside down, or dropped on it’s head,the Flying V, iwould slide down within the case, and without the benefit of a volute where the neck reaches the headstock, the neck joint just snapped under the weight of the package. You’re a braver man than me, for taking on such a repair, Great informative and down to earth videos, kind regards Greg, an avid watcher!

Another great review! Thanks Colin.

Sorry Colin late to the party today. On my shoulder I have that other bloke, at 59 years old it’s amazing how much I listen to him now and follow his advice. Glad you’re doing the same 😂. Love both V’s the Korina is the one I’d like to own, I’ll have to see what the other says. Have a great bank holiday weekend! 🤘

Looking forward to seeing you next week. Brave man

So look forward to your videos, such knowledge passed on ,cheers mate.

Colin great vid! I thought for sure you were going to send this Korina Flying V back, but then later on in the video when you mentioned they didn't have any more in-stock, never did I think you were going to attempt to try to repair it, how exciting! Definitely looking forward to next week's episode and all the best with the repairs, cheers mate!

Glad you decided to keep it (for now). Flying V really fits you. And the capo cast was brilliant!

Heart like a lion Colin! Wood is very forgiving can’t wait to see how you get on. Best of luck!

It's that time of the week again!! 👊👊

My favorite show! One thumbs up and a comment for you. Excellent as always! Oh man! Can’t wait for the fix! I have been itching to hear that korina one. Btw the black one sounds incredible. Thanks Colin, I had no idea I wanted a flying V. Now I’ve got a Gibson in my cart.

I fixed my SG that had a whiplash fracture exactly the way you are planning. I’m not a woodworker either but worked perfectly. Left a tiny hairline crack in the white finish but you can’t feel it. I saw a vid where someone finished the final top coat glue with superglue and knocked it back. Worked for me. Looking forward to seeing this come back together

Great episode Colin.. ive had the korina explorer for about a month or so. At first i didnt think it was worth the money. $1600 Canadian. After giving it a couple of hrs of love on the set up and frets and a month of plaing it, i have to say im growing attached to it. It sounds and plays like butter. If you need an explorer, id say it fits the bill. Cheers from Canada.. Jeff

Looking forward to seeing you fix it, I am sure you gonna do a great job :)

Fun film Colin! The Epi ‘59 Les Paul I bought came with Wilkinson Deluxe tuners, and I was also shocked! The guitar is absolutely wonderful. Your films on Les Pauls were no small influence in my decision to buy the ‘59. Thanks, and keep ‘em coming! 👍❤️🎸🎶✌️

Big respect, Subscribed!

Great vid Colin mate, wish you all the very best of luck with fixing her! :)

Just to add to what a few people have already mentioned, I’ve got a Lemon Burst Epiphone 59 which has Wilkinson tuners. Your deep-dive review of the Epiphone 59 played a big part in the decision to splash out on what is probably a nicer guitar than I can really justify for my playing ability, but I absolutely love it. Good luck with the neck repair!

Colin, I have every confidence you will absolutely nail that headstock repair. Maybe some extra “tone holes” like you gave that SG will be in order too😂😂 Good luck mate 🤞

Hi Colin! I'm really looking forward to this Flying V project. I cringed when I saw the break in the last video. Hopefully you can make a player out of it. The black V sounds really good. I also enjoyed your jams today. I liked the chords and the licks you put over them. Good stuff man! Cheers!

Great program! You have my condolences about the Korina, but it appears things are looking up. Certainly, I will be all eyes and ears next week. Cheers!

Hi mate looking forward to the neck repair. I have always wanted to know to do that Your a Brave man

Surprisingly, Colin, my 2014 Epiphone SG Pro has the same Wilkinson tuners. Lovely video, cheers!

The cheap one sounded great Colin....looking forward to next week though!!

I’m a bit surprised how close the specs seem on the PUs. Can’t wait to hear the Korina V and see how you fix the split.

You're a very brave man attempting that repair!! What could possibly go wrond indeed!!?? Im looking forwatd to next week ..

Wow! What a great idea to repair the guitar live! Thanks for another great video and sharing it with us! Almost sounded like Ghost Town by Poco you were playing at one point? Cheers!

I sent back my snapped head Epiphone- excited to see this repair! Go Colin!

Loved the sound of the affordable Epiphone, all flying V's seem to have great tone, cut and bite. However no matter how big my guitar collection eventually becomes, I can't see myself ever getting one (thanks 80's hair rock 🙄). Oh and you're braver than me, that would have gone to my local luthier to fix, good luck can't wait for next week 👍

Colin, partly on the strength of this excellent video, I am now the proud owner of the "poor man's version". Absolutely love it - feels and plays like a dream. I might swap out the pickups for something more grunty in the future, like EMGs - but for now I'm very very happy. Cheers mate!

Hi Colin, thanks for another ace video for a Friday! I have an Epiphone ‘22 Les Paul Classic which has Wilkinson instead of Grover 18:1 tuners. Just a bit of boring trivia for you 👍🏻☺️. Have a great weekend!

Cool axe, great show ✌🤘

Very cool. Cheers!

I think that you have a new favourite guitar! Mind how you go hobnobbin' with the toffs tomorrow Colin - make a great weekend of it. Many thanks for another great adventure and good luck getting Captain Korina back into shape.

I can't wait for the fix it video. The suspense is killing me!! I haven't had a broken headstock yet. But I'm only 62 and there's still time. Need to learn how to fix it.

As breaks go, that's a fairly easy one to fix. You can also reinforce it with a couple shims and never have to worry about it again. Looking forward to seeing your repair video.

Yes they sometimes put wilkinson tuners on epiphone les pauls too! Great video as always!!

On the tuner question, I just bought a new Epi SG Classic and it came with Epiphone Classic tuners. Bravo to you for deciding to fix the korina V! Please don't use that thin CA glue to fix the headstock break! Use the Titebond, clamp it and wait 24 to 48 hours for it to set up. The CA glue would be useful to drop fill any finish flaws after you glue the neck back together. The black V sounded really good to me, I have a couple of guitars I've put ProBucker 2 and 3 pickups in and they sound great! Cheers brother!

Hi Colin, thanks for inspiring me to buy my first Flying V. I ordered an older version of the Epiphone Korina Flying V, with the gloss finish and older Epiphone Classic pickups. Should be here in a few days, hopefully in one piece. Another great video, Greetings from the U.S.!✌️🎸

Very good luck with the repair mate. Really looking forward to hearing the comparison. Why did l think that the Korina was never going back to the shop?😂

It sounds surprisingly smooth, big fella. Thanks for that. Here in Australia, the Corina ones are even more ridiculously priced, although not as obscene as Gibson. Good idea to do a repair.

Seeing that Korina V's are my absolute favorite guitars, I may or may not be able to watch next week. 😂

Already looking forward to the fixing video Colin. There is a first for everything. Cheers

Another awesome video from Colin and his Crocs of rock. That black V seems to have “it”. Did you know there are also Orville Vees 😹

What a fantastic video for some reason I think the korina guitars is interesting have a good weekend

Awesome thanks bro...ive been pretty fascinated by the new epi korina v..looks badass..

Hi Colin, great videos. I have an inspired by gibson Epiphone SG standard and it came with Wilkinson deluxe tuners

Aloha and Mahalo Colin! Good luck with the repair. I don't think there would be a big enough difference to justify the price difference. The Korina is cool

I was lucky enough to get one of the zzounds exclusive Korina Vs for about $600 before they came our with this version. Stellar guitar. Super light, great pickups, after some minor setup for taste I couldn't find a fault. Every bit as good as the Gibsons I own.

Will be watching the bonus content on the TV channel later to see how the headstock operation turns out. There's a lot to be said for taking the discount and fixing the problem yourself, not least because you're more likely to bond (groan!!!) with the Korina. At the end of the process, I'm betting there won't be a great deal of difference sound wise between the Korina and the Standard; certainly not something that can't be sorted with the money saved on the 'affordable' version. However, will be happy to be proved wrong as, either way, it will be very interesting. Cheers

Delightful play out jam! You are certainly are full of surprises , attempting the repair. As you say , what could go wrong? My ebony standard has epiphone deluxe on the tuners , but you had a hard case - I got a cardboard box!

Thanks for taking one for the team and doing your "duty" and buying one for the review!

Hi there , Great work bro ..

Heya Colin- Brother that black Epi sounds sweet! This coming from a guy who in 40-odd years of playing has never even picked up a Flying V. I'm looking forward to the reclamation job- that head stock looks like a loose tooth just waiting for a reason to fall out! I'll make sure I have my snacks (well Breakfast sandwiches as it's super early here in the States when the show drops) & adult beverages at the ready. Great show as ever!

Good luck on the fix. I've never done one myself and that looks very unstable I agreed with you putting the capo on. My advice. I'd try to get some splines in after gluing it to help the solidity of it. Given it is deep and long down under the fretboard that would i feel give me the confidence. I'd probably take it to Dave the luthier I use when I exceed my skill level.

Get some clamps Col ! Cant wait for the hands on neck repair instructional video.

Aloha ,,You got my heart , I am 65 pure Rockin Roll kid who grew up moving every year as military brat, I' have seen Alice Cooper ,Led Zeppelin , Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd all before 1972 and really dig your channel , I watch Trogly's everyday and have been into the Korina Flying V since my 1 st Gibson Heritage Flying v with the Tim Shaw pickups. They are now 10 thousand on Reverb ,,, I paid $979.00 from Guitar Trader New Jersey ,D series 2 piece body ,It is gone and until 2 years ago I finally saw Epiphone version from Quindou Factory .In 1999 the very 1st ones with Korina body and mahogany neck really felt raw to me compared to my Gibson. Well this 2016 -2019 has Epiphone logo on the back of neck ,are Awesome out of the box ,,mine I paid $973.00 being from Japan had been set up with Diadarrio 10- 46 s and a blue gig bag [Japan uses gig bag for everything] , Then I got the olive drab which is exactly like your ebony one, by the way it sounded great. remember the Joe Bonamassa Korina v it came with exact logo raised and the probuckers 2 and 3 .. I cant wait to see how it comes out according to Michael .Schenker they get stronger after gluing correctly. Rock On Mate ,NWOBHM thanks

It's a great idea to repair it, I hope the discount was substantial- you are definitely doing them a favour. I bought my 2003 sg standard second hand with a neck repair and it was a bargain. once it's repaired you will have to get some scratches and dings on it so the repair doesn't look out of place. the 91 Gibson you have is really lovely though- i think you should add that to the comparison

I don't know if that was a cover or just jamming for the playout, but that was awesome.

Hello The Guitaristas. I bought both epiphone Les Paul 59s (Lazarus and Dark burst). In my personal case, the Lazarus has epiphone tuners and the Dark has Wilkinson tuners and both brands of tuners look pretty much the same. By the way, thank you very much for the review you did of both, that helped me choose... and I ended up buying both😂

Good luck on the repair. Thought maybe a collaboration video with the other Colin - of CSGuitars would be great. He did a repair series of videos on an SG with a broken neck.
