I'm not too familiar with this exact model but it seemed like a chance worth taking! I like the koa top :)
Let me know what you guys think!" |

I was watching that but I spaced-out on bidding.
That one was a re-list that they were asking $350+ for...
Pretty guitar with an OP-30...
Let us know when you get it. |

Don't mean to be too "OT", but......there sure is a WIDE variance in shipping charges lately.
OK, sorry, back to regular programming. |

Location: Milford, MI | My son has a KOA celeb and it's a very nice guitar. From the pics it looked like someone drilled holes in the top. I think Waskel cleared that up.
I hope you like it. I play my son's alot. |

Guess I'll see soon!" |

Location: Utah | Our local GC had a used one a while back. Other than the strings, which were full of gunk and disintigrating, it was a very nice guitar. I'd say you got a good deal. |

Location: Las Vegas | "So I got the guitar! It came in pretty much perfect condition, some of the buttons we're stuck on the preamp but other than that everything seemed okay ~.~ The strings we're detuned so I tuned them up; Don't know how old or how good the strings are. From first test it sounded really good. It really has its own unique tone from what I've ever played... It resonates more vibrantly. I'm having fun with it! I wanted an ovation I could play anywhere, after getting an Adamas, I feel like I can't just take that everywhere! The low E which I usually tune to D can have a slight buzz when strummed with certain strength. Maybe a new string will help that a little? I'll have to experiment it seems." |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Beside a string change, a slight crank on the neck nut, say half a turn, might help. After that, maybe a new bridge, and after that maybe a new nut.
Have to agree though, that's a pretty guitar. |
