hey, what happened to my first reply,,, oh well. Stunning guitar Andy, and a fine example of top notch craftsmanship. I also like that adjustable bridge  . If this is not your first koa top, I'd like to ask how the koa sound compares to a soft wood.

Thanks it is my first Koa top The "tree" in the backround is a very large Queen Palm Not really wood at all, so it won't be made into a guitar |

Beauty Andy! Wood, binding and finish really look great. I like how the back is bookmatched and that you didn't use a back centre strip. |

Great execution Andy, very clean workmanship, I'd be very interested in hearing a clip of that when it's finished if that is possible. I don't think I've ever heard a koa topped SS. Colin |
