so would you say that koa tops are a viable option with other tonewoods?

I've toyed with the idea of a koa top over macassar b/s. I don't really care for the sound of all koa guitars until they have opened up though. Just too bright for me. Do you think this guitar would also sound bright?

Koa tops aren't more compatible with koa backs than they are compatible with any other kind of backs. In my opinion a koa/rosewood is likely to sound quite different than a koa/koa guitar, in much the same way that a spruce/rosewood guitar is likely to sound different than a spruce/koa guitar. It's possible that my first post would give you a suggestion of what that difference could be. Don't be concerned with whether or not certain combinations of woods are "good" or "acceptable", or "better". That's not a useful idea. If you make a guitar out of woods that are generally suitable for making guitars, then it's possible to make a good guitar. Different woods can sound different, just as good guitars can sound different. There are no rules.

I thought a Koa top with Rosewood would look terrible but it doesn't!!!! (except for the gaudy pickguard)

Good man. I read it before.. something in me requires a level of redundancy to really believe what I am reading.
