Thanks for sharing the link with us. That may just be the finest Cocobolo guitar that I have even seen! Just gorgeous...

Not only is Cocobolo a beautiful wood but it's fun to say Cocobolo! Seriously though, nice looking guitar!

Looks like mine... And it is a koa wedge and binding, not maple.

If it sounds like mine the tone is to die for.

Cocobolo is just a real purdy wood and sounds great to.

Brazilian is also a real purdy wood.
