Only the top is Koa though, the body is mahogany, and the neck is a 5 piece mahogany/bubinga

You don't deserve koa.

Those inlays are awful.

I wonder if the top is a thick piece of Koa or a thin veneer. Not that it really matters, I'm just curious.

I think it's thick, I just watched a Sweetwater video, looked thick if it's as thick as the binding.

I'd give it a whirl,ugly inlays aside.

The specs call it a Koa top, rather than a veneer. I think it's dead sexy!

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I like that.

 

[LeftyTom]

I fancy it.

 

[wok]

I like Koa

Not on that though for some reason

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I'm not wild about the inlays, but that wouldn't stop me from playing it. Beautiful.

They have a 7-string Koa just for you, Wok

+1 to the awful inlays. But the black hardware is what kills it for me. It makes this look like a $189 beginner model.

 

[CBHScott]

Like that a lot. Kind of reminds me of something I...uhhh, never mind...

 

[Mark Wein]

I'd smash it and stab a hobo with the broken neck.

 

[mystixboi1]

Dig it. I would dig it more with covered pickups

The real definition of the hobo proctology exam.

 

[PunkKitty]

Yeah. I like it.

the one in the OP is super hot. I love natural top guitars.
