I may not deserve Koa...

Only the Ali'i deserve koa, but we can still aspire! Hope it works well for you.

Is this a NGD anouncement?

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Nobody deserves Koa except native Hawaiians.
But I won't turn it down.

I'm not sure I would like that. How does it work for you?

I'm digging it, Gary...it seems to be accurate, is very visible from playing position, and is easily accessible...there's a push-button on it, and when you activate it, it mutes the on-board preamp (which sounds excellent, BTW)...the only gripe I have with it is that it's a little slower than a Snark, and the needle jumps from one indicator line to the next rather than sweeping through them...the face is blue until you hit "in tune" when it turns green...

All-in-all I'd say that it is a very good application...I think it would make tuning during performances a little easier and less noticeable to the audience...

Cool. I seldom need to retune during a performance, and when I do I can usually do it quickly by ear as it is usually one string that is a bit off. Then too, I am not a heavy strummer.

My Takamine is all koa. I may not deserve it, but I sure as hell love how it sounds. I hope you've plugged in already, mine sounds amazing plugged in.

I'm digging it, Gary...it fits right in with my New Year's resolution to not be a douche with a Snark on the headstock.

Beautiful! Does it bring the brootalz?

In ways you could not imagine...

I use a clip-on tuner, but it comes off the guitar before I hit the stage. I don't like having tuners or capos hanging off the headstock when I perform.

I use a preamp for the Macrae, since it has a passive pickup. That preamp has a tuner built in, which is nice.

That's a beauty! I would spend hours staring at the wood.

Very very nice. Happy belated new Martin day.

 

[tstrahle]

Very nice.
