Korina Strat Neck arrived, what a beauty.

[Olds442]

This will be going on a chambered ash strat body with a couple fender 50's SC's and a lil '59 in the bridge. 

i'm stoked about this build. 

 

[Glimmer]

Lucious!

 

[dmraco]

Nice.  You do not see many of those.  How is the weight??

 

[Volitions Advocate]

Always kicked myself for ordering one of these and then having it painted black.  Stupid dumb bad me.  At least it's resting nicely on my Korina LP.  arty07:

Thanks everyone!  i'm stoked about it.

1.31 lbs.  :icon_biggrin:

the color matches up pretty well with the chambered ash body i'm finishing for her.  it's a long way from being done though, still have to burst the edges of the body.  (and a lot of other fun stuff).

but you get the idea of where this is going.  i weighed all the parts and it's looking like a final weight around 7.25 lbs once completed.

That goes great together. Love the photo.

That's a great piece of white Korina! It is indeed a beauty.

 

[nullref]

Very nice indeed...  I need to do a Korina build at some point.

 

[Verne Bunsen]

Exquisite! They'll make a fine pair!

Tasty wood choices. Is that a warmothbody? Love the grain on it

I dont think White Korina necks get enough love.  My VIP has one and the flaming on it is something to behold.

thanks!  yes it is.  i found it used on my local craigslist and it screamed "buy me now!" really loudly.  it's chambered swamp ash and very light weight. 

here she is hanging in the garage.  i have some more work to do on it, but it's coming around.

NICE :kewlpics:

 

[Glimmer]

Very purdy!

That's a pretty abrupt fade on that blackburst edge - did you use the cardboard silhouette method to keep the burst that tight?


Also, I like it.  :headbang1: 

 

[Great Ape]

Now that is r-e-a-l-l-y HOT! Great effect!

Thanks everyone!  :headbang:

it is a tight fade.  i wanted more of what i call a "rim burst", but my initial attempt had a spot that was a bit wider than the rest, so i widened it all the way around to match that area.  i didn't cover the top when i sprayed the bursted part, only when i sprayed the actual sides initially. 

it's not the best pic for seeing the actual burst edge, but you're right, it's tighter than most.  ccasion14:
