Some Gibson Guitars....gotta love that Koa!!!

[onewilyfool]

I just LOVE the look of Koa, however, have not really played many Koa guitars that sound too good to my ear...Very pretty though, that Koa Blues King gets my Gas going...

I know what you mean... .I've got my G.A.S. on for a Hummingbird KOA.

Its purty, alright. I'll never forget the flame on a koa Gurian i checked out once upon a time. But I've never strummed a chord or plucked string on a koa guitar and gone anything other than ...... meh. Neither ringing nor glassy nor ballsy nor sweet. I will quote scripture on this: "you are neither hot nor cold, I will spew you from my mouth" or words to that effect. Purty, tho. Maybe better for Weisenborns? J
