The other thing to keep in mind is that a koa guitar needs time to open up so the tone can be "subdued" when new. I was pretty happy with my Taylor K-22 when I got it last year. It was just not as loud and responsive as my other guitars but it's opened up a bit improving in both areas and it will only get better with more playing time. It's very balanced which makes for a sweet sounding guitar.
