Congrats Jag :happy0065: Amazing guitar and welcome to the Korina Jr club.

What does the back look like? Any pronounced streaks of Black Limba? Birthmarks?

Great looking asat jr Jag! I really like the korina collection, what's it like weight wise? both my asats are close to 8 lbs, just curious if the Korina is lighter.

The Korina ASAT Jr II I have is 8.75 lbs. Hope jaginthebag gets around to weighing his, I am curious if there's much variation between individual instruments.

It is at the guitar store, I was letting it warm up before tuning it and have the tech to the set up on Mon-Tuesday. I will drop in and weigh it then. Stay tuned!

This might not interest anybody, but I strung mine up 11-48 strings this afternoon having always felt that the 10-46 it comes with were a bit wimpy for such a tough guitar. While it was in no way bad before, the heavier strings have made it even better, given it more of what it was before and added a fair bit of sustain too. Do it! Give the truss rod about 1/8th of a turn when you do.

I have noticed that the Korina's all vary in weight. I have a JR at home that I love. We got four in the first order and I had to let three guys that the first picks. I think I lucked out on mine.

My scale is broken and the replacement is on its way from Amazon. I'll let you know precisely what it weighs as soon as practicable.

I'm starting a 'Most Wanted' list.... and one of those is at the top of it, just above the Korina Bluesboy. I don't recon there are any/many in the UK though!
Have to say... the LE-2 is looking mighty tempting too. :alright:
