Maybe this will help. From a specialty hardwood site...

Hmm. interesting. So I guess the '09C is "Curly" at least on mine. I thought the "F" in "F-KOA" meant figured. The one up on Elderly sure looks like figured though.

Thanks for those photos, Colin.

I never knew what the F stood for until Moddy was checking out my guitar and looked at the label. "Cool man, Freakin Koa"

Or something like that

Fred and I selected each of our Koala models within minutes of one another. He chose the figured top and I went with the wild lines look. All of these first run 12 fretters were marvelous. I'm sure the second run of 14 fretters was just as purdy, too.

Mine's kind of a mix of both. By the time I got around to it, there were only a couple left and the picture doesn't really show the "flame" that's pretty subtle up toward the neck.
