A Korina Strat

[marthur]

This was my first Warmoth build, a korina strat I completed a while back. Wenge neck with ebony fretboard. Manlius Guitar 50's strat pickups.

Sorry about the glarey pictures, but you get the idea.

Glare or not, it's a handsome axe.  Nice job.

That shell pickguard looks awesome against that korina. Beautiful strat! Chambered? Neck specs?

That's a good lookin' body.

Looks good with tort.

Thanks! The body isn't chambered, just plain old solid. The neck is wenge with and ebony fretboard, graphite nut, 6105 ss frets, 1 5/8" nut width, and standard thin back contour.

Is this the only strat you own? I'm asking because I'm curious how the korina body weight compares to an alder or swamp ash strat body.

It's the only strat I've ever had, but judging from the bodies Warmoth has in stock now, korina and alder seem about the same, swamp ash probably a little lighter than that. It doesnt feel too hefty to me, though.
