Fantastic guitar, and one of a kind (I think?)!!

Just to stir things up, I think it would be even better with a white guard :biggrin: . But really, that is awesome!

Beautiful guitar. I especially like the dark spots in the wood, cool that he didn't try to make it "vanilla". Looks like he aged the lacquer too? Now I want a Korina FB...

That looks tremendous! What was your wait time on this build? How long from concept to finish?

It took a a while, because they moved from CA to Detroit in the middle of it. LOL. Been a little over a year.

Well, my Rist burst took 5 years, so this has been fast in my experience. LOL.

Well that came out great, did he send you any clips, or at least tell you what it sounds like?

They did an amp demo with her. Dunno if it's posted yet. I'll look. I'm on a 10 hour session today. Taking a short break.

I'd be curious as to how much it weighs assembled. What I've observed, like Mahogany, Korina can vary in weight quite a bit.

Going in the mail today. Very excited!
