Gibson is one of the most famous guitar manufacturers in the United States. The company has produced instruments for some of the most popular singers in history and even makes stage-ready guitars. However, some Gibsons are worth more than others.
The Korina Explorer, for example, is one of the most valuable Gibson guitars on the market. It is valued between US$ 250,000 and US$ 1.1 million according to Vintage Guitar. The production model was created, along with the Flying V, the Korina's counterpart, as part of Gibson's ultra-modern design strategy in the 1950s. The Explorer has a unique shape, with sharp angles that have not been repeated in any another place.
