Location: Hiram, Georgia | That thing is beautiful, I like it, the way it is! Obviously you are a proud owner and you have every right to be. I bet your Taylor didn't give the same "feeling" as that fine instrument. I love the neck, weight and balance of all the O's I have owned, they just "feel" luxurious in your hands. The tone! what is there to say?...
I haven't yet played a $4500 taylor, that made me want to trade my 1778LX, and cough up a wad of cash, for.
I'd cough up a hairball, for a taylor, then sell it, buy a ute and 06 collector, or just head straight to #47 :D :D :D |

And then there's the abalone along with that tortoise shell... |

Location: NJ | I absolutely LOVE the top, fingerboard, and the bindings on this guitar . . .
The eppaulets?? . . . . ehhhhhhhh . . . nah.
It reminds me of that gooey schmear around the nostrils of a cow's nose . . .
They shoulda' went with the other one. |

Location: GA USA | A couple of years ago I wouldn't have liked the looks of this guitar. I came here for info on my Deacon. Now I think it's beautiful all around. I've got a fairly recent appreciation for Koa, which may account for the switch.
Very nice. |

Location: Omaha, NE | Hey, Bob. I stopped by Dietze Music over the lunch hour and played one of those koa's. I had played that one before, but one thing I noticed was when I dropped the E string down to D it really sang. I'm curious if yours is as resonant as that one. Is it a contour bowl thing, or a koa thing?
Either way, it sounds really nice. Great guitar! |

Perhaps you've confused it with a llama's nose? :confused: |

Llama's nose is more like Kate Beckinsale w/5:00 shadow.
