I had one these Moderne reissues back in the 80's. Very lightweight and great feeling guitar as I remember, wish I'd had hung on to it. Thanks for the memory jolt!

[NinerFourWhiskey]

I remember those! Back in 1982, I was a teenager working in a music shop in Texas outside of Houston. We got all three Korina reissues, the V, Explorer and the Moderne. Everyone wanted the V, followed by the Explorer and the Moderne hung on the shelf a long time. Played all of them enough to figure out the V was a PITA, the Explorer was heavy, but the Moderne was the most reasonable of the bunch.

I'm still waiting for that 12-string Mark!

I wish they would regularly make these... I'd love to get an affordable Epiphone Moderne. It's such a cool shape. I like the headstock too.

(I'm a big ZZ Top fan and Billy Gibbons is one of my favourite guitarists and influences but I never knew he played one of these, I just knew he had his Pearly Gates Les Paul

I remember that 1982 run of Korina Modernes, Flying Vs and Explorers. 1982 was an exciting year because the first of the Fender vintage reissues were hitting the streets, too. Up until then, It had been a long drought for both manufacturers, so the situation that year was very much welcomed. The Moderne used to be at the top of my all-time scoff list of fugly guitars but for a long time now I've really been a fan. Thanks to Mark and Norm (and Jen).

I had 2 of these, one in cream and the other the same as the in the vlog, forget the shape, they played and sounded fantastic and so light!

[Strongholle]

This is a guitar that's really growing on me lately. I didn't like it at all at first but after analyzing it's design for a while it suddenly starts to make a lot of sense.

[glennevans]

That Korina wood resonates real well.sounds great.

This Moderne reissue was sitting in the display window behind the counter of the shop where I took bass lessons, starting in 1982, through when I started taking lessons three years later and it was still there in the early 1990s before someone bought it.

I genuinely love the look of the guitar. When he's playing it, it looks unreal!!!

[florianwolf]

Very Avantgarde ! In the same league as the Explorer and the Flying V - all iconic. Thanks, Mark, for showing this beauty !
