New On Forum - New Korina Start On The Way

[Ganelon]

Hi, I am new to this forum, but I just got the UPS email and I am extremely excited, I couldn't wait to post, lol.

Here are the specs:
Strat Style
Black Korina with Transparent Blue finish.
Vintage 6-hole Tremolo
One piece birdseye maple, 1 5/8 white corian nut, 6130 fretwire, 21 frets with vintage tint gloss and abalone face dots.

As soon as it shows up at my door, I will post the pictures.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new axe! I'll look forward to seeing that.

I'll look forward to seeing that.

Me too.  This forum is full of Korina-worshippers.  I may have to get some myself one day.  The photos always make me think happy thoughts.


Welcome, Gamelan!

Plus, this one's blue.

 

[bagman67]

Yeah, blue-on-korina will be an interesting variant.  Clear-on-korina, or the occasional tobacco-burst seem to be the rule, with extremely occasional outcroppings of red or green transparent.  Bring on the blue, baby.

Welcome aboard  :icon_thumright:

As soon as it shows up at my door, I will post the pictures.

You better or someone here will hunt you down  :icon_jokercolor:


Another BK build 
Love to see this in Trans Blue, can't remember one being blue before :dontknow:

The abalone dots will go nicely with the body finish.  :hello2:

I'm still waiting on my black korina 7-string baritone.  Ordered it over 8 weeks ago, but no love yet.  :sad1:

 

[Ganelon]

I got so excited last night that I spelled Strat wrong in the heading. Doh! lol

Thanks everyone for the welcoming posts! I love how Korina looks, and I used to have a Epiphone Les Paul Flame Top Blue and I was in love with the color. Problem was, I suffer from small hand syndrome, so I had to sell it as the neck was a little too big. When I saw the Korina wood on the site, I knew that was what I wanted and I knew blue would be the color.

 

[Ganelon]

Today is the day! I am waiting for the good ole UPS driver. Once those beautiful boxes show up, I will be uploading photos, asap!

 

[Cagey]

I'm happy for you! Few things are as much fun as opening a box from Warmoth. It's always rewarding.

 

[Cagey]

2592x1936? Really? Who do you suppose has a monitor that size? And they're not only ridiculously huge, they're out of focus. Pretty color, though.

 

[Ganelon]

I realized they were too big, I am sorry, lol. I hope these are a little better.

 

[Ganelon]

And more pics at the smaller size.

 

[Cagey]

Hehe! Thanks for the attempt at correction, but you didn't have to shrink things down to glorified thumbnails. Check your work. I mean, click on what you've posted after you post it. That way, you'll see what others see. If it doesn't make sense to you, there's a good chance it won't make sense to anyone else, either.

Can only load 3 pic's at a time via the attachments. Plus can't view before posting either  :icon_scratch:

Best just using Photobucket .... it's easy  :icon_thumright:

Not so sure on the Trans Blue on the black korina  :dontknow:
Just me thou !!

What colour pickguard & hardware you putting on it ?

 

[Ganelon]

I never used photobucket, but I will remember that for next time.

I have black pick guard with aged white pickup covers and knobs. I have chrome bridge. I thought about going black, but I felt there was going to be a lot of black on it already. I guess we will see once it's all completed.

 

[Kublai]

For some reason I had a horrible image of what trans blue on korina would look like. But, that looks nice.

 

[Alfang]

I think it looks awesome,

I know I'll get some flak for this, but how 'bout a blue perloid pickguard

 

[Tempest]

Wow looks great man, the Korina grain looks awesome under that blue!
