Like the title states does anyone own a taylor 210 koa acoustic? Is the back and sides solid wood or laminate? How is the pickup on it?

thanks =)

The top is solid spruce, but the back and sides are laminate koa.

they are aparently made in the states! All gloss too! I checked at sweetwater to confirm and the serial number begins with 1 as well as a different tag inside showing elcajon. I have had a 214ce before and loved it. To me the laminate taylors sound excellent. As long as the laminate thing doesnt bother you, I'd say go for it!
