Here is a new Koa Red wood guitar that just went out to a customer for christmas. It was her second guitar from my shop. The top is the famous "lucky strike" top wood from craig carter many years ago.

Lovely guitar. Binding kind of looks like coco - I like the contrast with the Koa. Ok Michael, now I have to know if I guessed right ;)

Really beautiful. The redwood goes great with the koa and so does the cocobolo binding. What a great way to start out the new year.
