Neck isn't even polished yet. Has a slight blemish on the front. But the back is lovely with the blisters and subtle flame.

Look how porous the Korina is. This is shellac sealer, grain filler x 1, nitro sealer. I grain filled again after that. Still gonna have to beat back the colour coats to get level.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Korina is a nightmare, also so bloody soft. I don't care about its mythical properties, never using it again!

And brittle - look at it wrong and it will shear a piece off just ‘cause.

yep, you're a brave man putting a trem in it ;)

To be fair mine was a two pointer - so not much wood left after the posts went in. First stringing and the posts had broken the wood behind. Lesson learned :)

I had an epiphone V that had a metal plate that went were the 2 posts fit to the body, I think thats the solution.

If Korina is so bad how come Reverend only use Korina? Genuinely interested, not stirring. And of course Gibson and others use it occasionally. I would have thought by the comments that it would be too difficult to use for a mass production line situation.
