I can imagine this as a very sweet sounding H with this well aged koa.

This is a really special guitar - I loved the feel and appearance of it so much, that some years ago, when another came up for sale, I bought it with the idea of retopping it in spruce, but Richard talked me out of it, and I've happily kept two, near identical, one in the studio, one at home, but am learning to be much more practical and will live with just one of them -

Serious buyers can choose either of them - I couldn't tell the difference blindfolded -

I’d play this even without a blindfold
I’ll bet one of these could keep anyone happy for a lifetime.
Shouldn’t be around too long...

Gorgeous. And holy cow, glad Richard talked you out of retopping. That would have been nuts.
