Actually, I'm completely redesigning the Greta model and will start a new build thread on that one in a couple months.
I'm afraid I just can't seem to catch that Koa back in a picture that I think really shows if off. I've posted a couple pics but I'm still trying to find a better way to shoot that. I still have the steelstring twin to practice on, so stay tuned!
Thanks Again
Mark

Oh, I wasn't commenting on your photos of the back and sides. I was just saying that the most popular/viable top woods for tone (spruce and cedar?) also happen to be the most "plain" looking. Although, I guess I can appreciate a very tight, flawless grain pattern in spruce.
Seriously though, that koa is breathtaking. And I'm sure it's 10 time better in real life.
I can see how the headstock could be a "love it or hate it" type of thing. Put me down for a "love it".
