BigKahune Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 . Welcome. Sorry, I don't know. You could call Gibson C/S and ask - 1-800-4GIBSON (1-800-444-2766) . . . . . service@gibson.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-1854Me Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Not as a 'standard' production item. But they will make it for you, if you ask. I've got a J-200 Elite in koa, a Custom Order, and it's great. One thing I would suggest you consider, if you do place an order for a J-200 with koa back and sides: a mahogany neck, rather than the maple neck. Aesthetically, IMO, the maple looks a bit wonky next to the koa, while mahogany blends much better visually. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy I'd love to see THAT one! I suppose any dimensionally stable hardwood could be used for a neck, although weight (density) would be a factor, so why not koa. Cool!

Would have matched better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
