Default Les Korn archtops

Has anyone played or owned a Les Korn archtop? Any thoughts?

Never played one. Probably never will, because . . .

About fifteen years ago Mr. Korn acquired a truly awful reputation online. See here for example.

The punch line is that even today, even if the guitar you're scouting is a brilliantly successful instrument, it's never going to be easy to sell that guitar.

All the best with your quest.

Sam,
Les Korn=More agita.

Reading those complaints should put anyone off.
