DanvillRob Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You know you have a special guitar when you show the back as often as you show the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-1854Me Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I like that the neck was tinted to a colour that at least approximates the koa back of the guitar. On the koa 200s from a few years ago, the maple necks were usually left blonde, which was quite 'stark'. When I ordered my koa 200, I specified a mahogany neck, in part to avoid the maple-koa look. But this one is nicely done! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Let's do it. When are you free? Let me know when you guys are going to do this, as I will be back in SF on the 26th for about two weeks, and would love to hear these guitars. Actually staying in Oakland rather than SF this time.

E-minor7 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hey there Wily - Thought your days with the louds were over. It's ideal to have both. The pendulum does it. A fancy guitar it is. Flags ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually staying in Oakland rather than SF this time. Nick, where in Oakland? I'd really like to get together with Wily and his Koa-Axe... I can't imagine his J200 is a CANNON! I think my son is coming over this Sunday, (I'll have to ask), so Saturday might be open. The week of the 26th I have to do to a dinner for a special cancer drug on The Hornet!

I was goin' to warn you NOT to 'go for a walk' at night there..... If you're stayin' at the airport, you're probably okay..... Jack London Square/Village is relatively safe...but any hotel on Broadway you're gonna want to stay inside! If you're on MacArthur, you might as well bring your flack vest.

Well, I'll be at the Waterfront Hotel at Jack London Square, so I guess I'll be relatively safe. Of course, all of Oakland probably looks like dangerous territory to a guy who lives in Danville....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
