Beautiful guitar. I always had a hankering for a D70 "Peacock", just never happened. Koa guitars are incredibly beautiful. Speaking of wives, mine caught me off guard a few weeks ago when I got a new one. I'd finally taken it out of the case, it was very quiet in the house and I played a few licks. She stopped what she was doing and said, "My gosh, that's a beautiful sounding guitar". I was shocked. : ) ........and felt somewhat vindicated.

I played a Taylor price around 5+ grand . It did not impress me .

From what I understand from other owners and some reading it’s a hit or miss but there’s lots s play in that so hold me to nothing .

I’d like one and or like to experience more models .
When I bought my F47 GSR I was hesitant about the Koa but it worked out great for the back and sides .
