korina body. cap?

[whichonespink73]

I will be getting a korina strat and I was wondering what the sonic differences would be between an all korina body, a korina body with koa top, and a korina body with walnut top. The neck will be indian rosewood with an ebony fretboard.

whatever you think looks better!
on a strat, a laminate will make zero impact on the tone...

I would expect there to be little or no difference. For one thing, it's an electric guitar, not an acoustic. For another, those are similar woods. They're fairly tight grained and dense. So, like Marko said, whatever you like cosmetically.

The laminate top for a Strat is pretty thin, and won't make a difference to what you hear.

However, if you go a full carved top laminate of 3/4" you might just hear a tonal dofference in the instrument.
