Bought this body back in the Thanksgiving sale.  Had Warmoth make the walnut neck special.  Here are the details:

Black Korina solid flat top body
Clear gloss finish (by Warmoth)

Walnut neck - clear gloss finish
Ziricote fretboard
6150 frets
Mother of Pearl dots
Compound radius
Standard Thin contour

Will install these items:

Waverly Open-Backed Butterbean chrome tuners
Mother of Pearl Nut (made from a blank - it's really turning out nice!)
Ziricote covers on the rear cavities
2 volume, 1 tone controls (ebony knobs)
Seymour Duncan Classic '59 pickups

Looking forward to getting this one finished!

Wow! That body is really something! I'm surprised at how dark it is, especially with just a clear finish. If it weren't for the grain, I'd think that's Walnut as well.
 
Here's a few more pictures:

That turned out really sharp! You must be very pleased. I trust it plays/sounds good?
