Can someone help me figure out these Flying V duplicates?

Some of these Flying V listings appear to be reissues and others are originals, but the wrong versions seem to be attributed and or overlapping with many artists.

Jeez.... well not every V is korina but this is pretty whack.i guess we need one generic flying V. Just 1. Then the korina ones I would have to research. The first batch from I guess 1958 was korina and they're highly coveted. Should be their own item. Occassionally they would make more korina ones starting in the 70s i think, but I'm not sure what years... they're one thing in my view. Then the custom shop is its own thing. Different factory, vintage materials and cobstructionmethids. They still don't know how to make a paf like they used to... this is a mega-hesdache. I feel like people on here are getting way too specific with guitars though.

Edit: *So I think I should merge the regular korina V with the 1983, that's obvious. I should probably make a separate custom shop entry, no year. Okay? Is the 1958 V meant to be a real 58 from 58 or a 58 reissue do you suppose? The generic koriba V's description seems to be fir a custom shop but there WAS NO CUSTOM SHOP in 83. I'm not sure now, I wanna see what Michael thinks. *

Some of our problem is all the marketing goons and MBAs at guitar manufacturers. 20 different american made strats, puh-leeze! Just make a strat with some basic pickup configuration options, right? F**k this year specific reissue stuff. Just make a good guitar like you used to and offer some more modern appointments as an upcharge from the classic formula. And fir the love of god stop using thick UV dried polyurethane, if moisture gets in it peels right off!!! Lacquer or thin polyester please and let it cure naturally.
