musikraft korina jm body - now here: looking good!

[fuzzking]

I just bought this Musikraft korina body:



just wondering if it will work with a sunburst... it looks quite different from ash, no?

[mcjt]

ah! i wondered who bought it! you got it for an excellent price!
we now have matching korina bodies!
i think SB is great - see here:

one of the few times i didn't make a real bad deal... but then again, it'll have to come from the US to my place, and anything can go wrong again.

hmmm... i suspected it would look that grainy... maybe more of a candidate for an opaque finish IMO...

[ugly casanova]

white finish + white pickguard and b+b alder neck

[fuzzking]

no b+b for me, thanks 

[mcjt]

well, the neck couldn't be alder- it's not hard enough.
i would say, maple with a sweet rosewood board and clay dots. (i'm such a boring traditionalist!)
Or ebony? 
i really want to do mine in a translucent finish- i like the grain. when you see the body, you'll flip out- it's a very unusual looking guitar wood. Very straw-coloured, i would say. With the grain, it makes for a very special look. mine looked like a yellow zebra.....
mine came with lots of bubblewrap, but it still took a bash on one corner. i had to reshape a bit. Maybe it's me, but i think the extra light bodies are SOFT. i drilled a few holes in my korina body, and the drill bit went in VERY fast. Watch out!

no b+b for me, thanks 

but D+B then?

[fuzzking]

no b+b for me, thanks 

but D+B then?

nonono. only pre-cbs-style.

Already had that experience with my black JM body, it's swamp ash, and it's like a cotton ball

I just bought this Musikraft korina body:

wow! very nice.  I would go with Mary Kay trans. white, and an ebony fretboard, clay dot, musikraft neck...you choose the guard. 
I think sunburst can be tricky...unless you have a pro that could do it for you.  MK white can be tricky to get even coverage, but with a little prractice you can get it down.  I spray the sides first with the body propped up laying flat and then with it hanging, spray the front and back like a machine in vertical patterns with %50 overlap.

Sweet body!

I don't intend to do it myself this time, i was just wondering whether  a sunburst would look okay or  totally off, with that given grain...

[StevenO]

I think what you want is really a target burst, mid-60s style.

not a matching pair.....or 

[fuzzking]

hmm.. i intended this to go onthis....

finally...

[mcjt]

YES. Two tone SB, early-style.
i agree whole-heartedly. BUT we might have matching Korinamasters!!!!!!!
i even ordered black covers to go with the Scot gold guard.....

you saw mine, right? :
