Rick, Eddies Korina V is one of the 91 real ones. You cant put a $ figure on what his would be worth at auction, but the collector grade authentic Gibsons that were for sale 7-8 years ago when I was collecting were worth well over $100k. They are easily $250k+ these days. Gruhn has a flametop '60 Les Paul Standard for $275k if anyone is in the market
As far as the faux Gibson thing goes, Ive spent a lot of money of Gibson stuff in the last 10 years, and aside from an 8# long neck tenon '58 historic reissue les paul that I paid $3200 for, none of them are better than an $800 Tokai. And that '58 was not a better guitar than the typical $1200 Tokai.
Forget being in the same ballpark if you want to compare flying Vs, the Korina '83 Gibson reissue flying Vs are not even playing the same game as my $650 Tokai or the Bacchus I posted pictures of. The later '90s Korina Gibsons are a tad better than the '83s at $4500-$6k each.
Ive owned a lot of Gibsons. They are not terrible guitars, but I wouldnt trade either of my Tokais to have any of them back.
