I'm trying to assign a global keyboard shortcut that will launch a new window of Finder, in a specific directory. I can write a script that'll open a new Finder, but not sure how to make it open in a specific directory.
Any ideas how to do this with either Automator or AppleScript?
In case it's relevant, I have OS X Mountain Lion.

As shell script:
As AppleScript:
Wrap in an Automator service and assign a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences » Keyboard » Keyboard Shortcuts » Services.
For a pure Automator solution without script code, combine the Get Specified Finder Items and Open Finder Items actions. Drag & drop the desired folder to the list. Again, save and assign a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences.
