A koa summer

A 2015 Summer NAMM release- a pair of LTD koa top guitars. A good thing they have passive pickups in there to let the koa sing a little bit. The thing about koa is its mahogany warmth without the weight. Also, it has enough clarity to rival a rosewood but not an excessively sharp top end. However, the koa here is a laminate piece, meaning, it's not substantial enough to command the oveall voicing but enough to influence the tone somewhat.
