I think that the only one of those at the moment was a custom job for St. Peter.

I heard that he won't even let his boss play it.

I wouldn't either.

We have the Pope over here at the moment. Would that have any influence?

My friend Iggy (that's his name here on the forum) has 5 McIlroy guitars and I think 3 of them have cocobolo back and sides. I heard only audio samples of his guitars (I live in Canada, he is in Holland) and his A55 cedar/cocobolo is one of the best sounding guitars that I've ever heard. Send him PM I'm sure he'll replay and give you some answers.

Topped with cedar is my next guitar on my list, though probably get dummed down to walnut. Coco is a 1000 upgrade. Iggys favorite last i heard was coco/cedar, but ive never heard in person-I think a spruce top would be phenominal as well, mine is italian/indian rosewood... very nice.
