allmantrout Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I saw a Korina H357 photo. Can someone fill me in? Are they available again?
High Flying Bird Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I saw a Korina H357 photo. Can someone fill me in? Are they available again? No. And this one that Marv is showing me isn't going to be mine soon. I think they are only being built on a "one or two" run basis. It never hurts to call and ask. I feel very fortunate to be getting one of these built at 225 Parsons.
FredZepp Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Yeah... a couple of these beauties were built on a custom order basis... But it is hard to predict if they will build any more... you may get lucky...
brentrocks Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I think if you were to call and talk to Marv...then coordinate with your dealer, you might be able to have one built. I bought this one from Marv a few months ago, it is a Korina H 357 he built for himself but decided not to keep, so i bought it from him.
Gitfiddler Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I bet if Heritage started making more of those 357's they'd really catch on. It is such a cool instrument!!! Brent, yours is simply amazing.

Johnny Winter would be very jealous!!
skydog52 Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Marv is the man to talk to. You have to twist his arm a bit.
FredZepp Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Marv is the man to talk to. You have to twist his arm a bit. AND.... Mention that it is for an HOC Member.... It may be the deciding factor..
tulk1 Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Marv is the man to talk to. You have to twist his arm a bit. Uh .... wow!
JWALKER Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Brent, Your H-357 is awesome! What kind of PUPS are those, as they look to be full humbuckers as opposed to the mini-humbuckers on the G models. What is that finish called, I really love that natural wood look. Can you tell us more about the specks, maybe several of us can lobby to have this baby made in a special production run, as I know I am interested.
mark555 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 AND.... Mention that it is for an HOC Member.... It may be the deciding factor.. Yes, but do you still have to pay for it???

Those are full hummbuckers...i have Tom Short (mark ford) Zebras in it now. That 357 is made out of Korina wood...i dont know if Marv would build anymore Korina 357s? He actually built this one for himself. I know that he will build mahogany 357s per special order request. The center block is a 3-piece sandwich...korina/maple/korina, then solid korina wings. it has a very chunky V-ed neck. its about 7.5 lbs. Skydog52s H 357 that he just had built is a friggin masterpiece in itself....we saw that one in the buffing racks at PSP III.
