Koa Limited Release

[ghostrider25]

I did an all rosewood neck for my recent Koa build. This time, I'm going roasted flame maple + ebony (black).

Some people like to do more and we want to encourage that, OK?

To be fair Liberace was one of the most popular entertainers on earth and also one of the top earners in the industry for about 20 years.

So the real maxim here is - do what you want, but we reserve the right to judge you and make jokes regardless of your success.

Same could be said of every Thanksgiving dinner my family has ever had.

You get served a heaping helping of ruthless, topped with a large dollop of love.

It's completely a matter of taste. IME guitars look best with either a blinged-out body or a blinged-out neck, but never both. Both always ends up a little:

How does that all rosewood neck look and feel

Just received the koa body today, I have a koa neck on order so assembly is many weeks away. The roasted flame maple neck is still waiting for a screamin' deal body to present itself.

How does that all rosewood neck look and feel

It feels very nice, although, not as smooth as raw roasted maple because the grain isn't as tight, but still really smooth. And the color is really different. I didn't choose the "dark" option so I got something more of a medium brown with a lot of streaks that are almost a subtle rainbow of colors. IMO, it's very beautiful and couldn't be happier with it.

I haven't posted pics of that guitar here yet. I'll probably wait until I finish the newer one and then show them both at the same time as a Koa pair. I probably won't be able to finish the new one until the fall though so it'll be a while.

Now I'm thinking of a solid rosewood neck with cream binding on it.
