Oil finish is OK on Korina, but it tends to get dirty really fast, making it rather HIGH MAINTENANCE... (all oil finishes are high-maintenance, really!) | |

Danny, check your email! Your crafter needs to know about body contouring (forearm cut, tummy cut, body edge radius??) | |

Danny has advised me that YES it should have a comfort cutaway on the the back, but no forearm cutaway, and usual "tele" body edge radius. Check Your Email! (i forwarded you that information yesterday...)
