Black Korina Strat

Here are some pics of the Black Korina Strat I just received today.

Got the body from the showcase and had it routed for a recessed Floyd Rose and Humbuckers in neck and bridge.

This will be my first attempt at doing all the finish work myself.  I plan to do a Tung Oil finish on the neck and a 2-tone vintage burst Nitro finish on the body.  It will have all chrome hardware.  For pickups I am I have set of Rio-Grande Vintage Tallboy strat pick ups.  The plan right now is to go with single coils.  I had the body routed for humbuckers just in case.  I have a Tallboy humbucker for the bridge position just in case.

Planning to go nice and slow on the finish.

Hope you like it.
