Pictures don't do justice to the fiery color of this koa top.  It's simply gorgeous. 

Ichose this guitar after trying all the koa T5s available in my area;it took a whole Sunday to select this guitar for its clear,sophisticated tone.  Surprisingly, I found marked differences among theT5 koa axes I played, from the dull to the extremely resonant andbell-like.  It pays to compare before choosing.  This is the best outof 10 I carefully AB'd for hours.  

The guitar hasn't beenplayed much because I have dozens of guitars and I play solid-bodyelectrics mostly.  I has never gigged and when not in its case it hasbeen in my climate-controlled basement studio.  It's in mint condition,and has no problems or issues. 

The best price for this guitar new is around $2900.   Why pay that much?   

This guitar is in mint condition and guaranteed not to be a lemon (according to my taste, naturally).
