Dude! I am very interested in how it turns out. I am considering the explorer with the Korina Tung oiled......

I'm not so sure about their version of the Explorer though. Something looks way off about it...

agreed.

more "pointy", kinda like what warmoth attempted to offer...

it aint right, not even near when gibby modified it from historic blueprints late 70's on.

Hamer standard, Gibson Historic are correct explorer body shapes

 
They're sending me two mahogany off cuts, so I can reshape the headstock, which is too narrow, and flared, to a more " classical" outline; I'll remove the maple veneer. glue on the two "wings " bandsaw to shape, and glue on an ebony veneer. I'll design a logo and get it inlayed in mother of pearl.

Part of what attracted me to these kits is that the wood is unfinished, so you have a fair amount of leeway for reshaping to your own desires; I'll be putting in a subtle tummy cut, and taking some of the sharpness off the the heel joint, to make playing the upper frets more comfortable.
