Has anyone else seen the "other sets" from Volcano Tonewoods? Oh man!

Koa is on my priority list of must try, it supposedly sounds REALLY GOOOOOOOOD!

If you ask me, it sounds better than it looks! My dilema is this. I start
grad school in Jan. Were I to continue with an, albeit low, but regular
income where I could keep going with my $100 a month allowance, I'd
build two more. One with koa and one madagascar rosewood.

But alas, I promised myself I'd LEARN from my dumb-spending mistakes

I just recieved my Koa set from them, and it's beautiful. They packaged the wood so it's protected very well. Volcano's pics are just what you get. I love this wood so much I'm going to order another set. Alan at Volcano is very informative on the phone too. He'll answer all your questions.

I have two sets of koa, and I love the sound of koa instruments - but they will have to wait as I am far too afraid of ruining a set of it to try it on my first instrument! Congrats on those sets!
