Location: Tychy, Poland | KOA, KOA... good furniture can be made from this wood.
but no matter how fine it will look, it will always stink on acoustic guitar (sound wise)
if it'd sound as good as it looks, it would be too good to be true. |

Location: Nashville TN. | Best looking hands down in my never humble opinion
Its the traditional custom legend in black.
It may be the best looking guitar from any company.
Uglist MT37-5, heroin diaries, My Other Board, Eclipse, T357, T257, some others.
In general I don't care for the enamal finish.
Personally I though the Thunderbolt was ugly and had to be talked into trying it.
The feel and sound made it gorgious. |

What products and techniques do you use to get that beautiful shine? They almost look wet.
Inquiring minds want to know! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | SWMBO thinks the LAV Koa is ugly. She thinks they all should look like the OFC, but she's partial to blue.
I recall having a few doubts about the Koa prototype when I first saw that now famous picture of Waskel holding it, but the novelty of it grew on me. |
