glad Dave is OK. he is a good guy.
BTW I still have a few of the 14 fret guitars available. These have all the same specs as the above guitar except they come with the 5 piece neck and have 14 frets clear of the body.
very nice indeed.
you know how to get in touch with me.....
as I have been saying HO HO HO
all these guitars have to GOOOOOOOOOO |

Ha ha ha, just kidding.
These are VERY special guitars and I'm glad that Cliff got one. Not sure where all 12 went to (about half are accounted for) but these are probably keepers each and every one of them. I bet the 14 fret is equally stunning and maybe slightly different sonically. Anyone had the chance to compare 12 vs. 14 side by side?
Congrats again Cliff. |

Location: closely held secret | Oops, my mistake. I forgot Al's 14 frets were the blowhole style. So the only difference is the neck.
It would be interesting to hear the difference made by the bridge placement. |

To be honest I don't see a significant difference. Yes the 12 fret has slightly more power but for me the convenience of the 14 fret far outweights any addition to the sound that the 12 fret has.
buy one there are in stock |

Location: closely held secret | Thanks for the info, Al.
Due to the huge generosity of this boards' members I have one.
I would strongly encourage anyone on the fence about these to contact Al. These Koa's are exceptional guitars, unique and very limited. |

I just sold one person a guitar and had him send payment to another person, neither of whom I'd ever met. A few folks I know thought it was risky/crazy. We know better, don't we? |

There have been a few bad eggs here and members have lost money, guitars and trust. Yes we know better, but you still need to be careful. |

(sorry for beating that dead horse, just pisses me off)
And...I don't want to hijack the thread with meaningless crap. Cliff, again, congrats. I know you will put it to good use. |
