Black limba versus mahogany - The Gear Page
2011年11月14日 · Black limba is the heart wood and the white Limba is the sap wood from the same tree. Korina was a trade name that Gibson use I believe. For some reason I think it might haved reffered to the color. Its also commonly used as a Mahogany substitute in the furniture industry.....so my brother tells me.
Korina/Limba - The Gear Page
2010年5月29日 · But, much of the Korina/Limba I see more recently such as Black Limba/White Limba (Like on the Thorns, et.al), has a completly different look to it than the wood used in the 50's by Gibson. That wood appeared to be very straight grained and somewhat "amber" in color when finished, while much of the wood today has much more figuring, color ...
black limba vs mahogany - The Gear Page
2007年4月9日 · I have a Black Limba Baker (KT001) Jr. It seems to have the bottom and mid warmth of mahogany, but more "pop" to the notes and a bit more zing to the highs. A bit more articulate but still thick and woody. I LOVE it! I was playing it today through a SLO and Matchless 4x10 cab, good lord!! BTW, the wood is VERY beautiful, nice black streaks ...
Black limba versus mahogany | Page 2 | The Gear Page
2011年11月14日 · FWIW the Black Limba I've seen was all pretty light, Ron Thorn had about 10 peices I went through before finding the body wood for the Artisan Deluxe he built for me and they were all lighter than the Koa and Mahogony body blanks he had. The heaviest Korina guitar I have is made of white Korina wood, but even that one is lighter than my other ...
Canary Wood Necks? - The Gear Page
2019年12月15日 · I'm very familiar with the body wood this guitar has (black limba) but this'll be my first experience with canary so will be interesting to see how it all sounds! At the price I paid I could always get a different neck for it and still be in good shape, but I doubt that'll be necessary based on the opinions I've heard so far.

The Trouble with Korina - The Gear Page
2013年7月17日 · Korina (well, African Limba, if you want to get technical) is a great sounding and great looking wood. The connection to 50's Gibson modernistic guitars is just an added bonus. There's no reason why Gibson shouldn't have a korina Exprorer and Flying V in their Custom Shop program at all times, and offer a Moderne limited run from time to time.
How does black korina compare with regular korina?
2009年7月8日 · Thinking about building a twangy partsocaster and I'm thinking about what wood to use. I want a tele shaped guitar with hollow bits and something with more grunt and mids than my swamp ash strat. I'm a 6120 and 335 player who wants a twangy, grunty strat-meets-LP junior kinda thing! So far...
Korina finishing options - The Gear Page
2007年10月16日 · KORINA is a finish. The WOOD is Limba. Korina is the name that Gibson invented for the honey colored finish they applied to the original Explorers and Destroyers in the '50s. With that said, go with Korina. Mike
What's the verdict on paulownia? - The Gear Page
2024年11月15日 · I have some heavier hard wood bodies like black limba and those have their merits too, great fundamentals and sustain, but there is something about those lighter woods for the body. It makes me want to play around with some interesting combinations (like basswood body, mahogany neck, and ebony fretboard) and although I have yet to try paulownia ...
