Sound Pure's Take
What a voice on this thing! Warm, honey sweet and very crisp, but with a bit of reverb and sustain that you don't get from maple. Koa is the best of both worlds tone wood, and man, did they get a great-looking set for this one. It's in the original twelve-fret body size, too, it feels like it's a lot more to hold on to and dehaves more like a OO, tons of bass, more like a 12-fret dread. Very unique and stunning guitar!
