Actually, now that I look further, mine had no pick guard, and has Koa bindings rather than Madi.
Nothing structural or changes the tone IMO.
I'm saying, through a number of incredible instruments, my 00 has stood firm when others have been sent down the highway. It's my wife's favorite (and she has incredible ears!).
For reference, you'd have to give me a fair amount more to pry it out of my hands than this one is listed at (you'd be shocked at the MSRP by the way).
