Default Goodman J-185 style guitar Curly Koa and Lutz Spruce

I have been saving this piece of wood for about 20 years I guess it’s finally time to use it.

This is the fourth time I have used it. I really like it,although it has been a little scarce lately.
It is pretty light and I go a little thicker than sitka with it.
