It came out great.  It looks awesome!  Bet it sounds awesome to.  Diggin' it! 

BTW:  Great job on that headstock.  Cool DbU design.

Hands down, one of the best Koa tops I've ever seen. Truly exceptional! :icon_thumright:

Needs a Floyd, though!

Really tho, that's freakin' awesome bro.... :headbang1:

I'm now a new fan of Koa!  :glasses9:
Really nice!!!

 

[Just Another Smith]

That is one fine looking guitar.  I love the simplicity of the controls.

 

[Jcurl02]

Very nice!

Very nice!

 

[Eric Banjitar]

I want!  You are feeling sleepy.....very sleepy.  Now go to the post office with that guitar and mail it to me.

 

[RobR]

Fantastic job! ..... and the sound?

 

[NonsenseTele]

This is one of the most beautifull koa guitars ever! And I don't even like H-S pickups and 3+3 tuners on Strat/soloist!

Thanks for the compliments everybody.  ccasion14:

Simple replies:

Line6man & DR6
Ummm, no Floyd on this one and I like it that way.  :icon_biggrin:

Just Another Smith
Me too.  :icon_thumright:

Hope I did you guys another one to be proud of. Just strung up right now letting the neck settle in, going to my tech this Saturday for a proper setup. No plug in until after that, but acoustically it rings pretty loud and clearly.

Glad I was able to show you the errors of you ways. No more rules, OK?  :laughing7:

To everybody else who replied, thank you.  ccasion14:

LOL, no.  :laughing7:

I have two Soloist with Floyds already, just wanted something different.

Typical reaction to the guitar so far:

I put a Wilky on my guitar because
1) the showcase body I bought was trem routed
2) I figured what the heck I haven't had a trem in 20 years, maybe it'd be fun

I don't think I'll bother with another. If I find another irresistable showcase body with a trem route, I'm likely to consider blocking it.

 

[m4rk0]

fantastic!!
and you need to change your sig...  I still think it is the best of all four!!
I wonder if the raw neck will make you play your others less now

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Thanks.

I don't think it will make me play the others less, they're each special in their own right.  ccasion14:

Wow, I'm a bit slow to the party but that is SPANKIN'!!!
Another sweeet axe DbU.  :headbang:
