Lovely piece of work!  I really dig the  supernova fretboard inlays.  Altogether a beautiful guitar.
 
Beautiful! :icon_thumright:

But what's up with the bridge saddles? How come they're so far back?
 
Nice I like the look. The Korina turned out well more brown than olive like they sometimes turn out.
 
@logrinn...just how it is I guess....it still has great action.

@zhaezzy... My first pass was with truoil and it turned out very very olive. I couldnt like it and sanded all back down, stained it with some red mahogany minwax stain and lacquered it up.
