One gorgeous Koa mini
« on: December 10, 2016, 09:17:57 AM »
Rarely do I see a truly top specimen of koa mini. (I've owned two, and I sold my first for the second, had to have it with that near-master grade flaming.) I doubt I'll ever find one I like better than my current one:



But, this one for sale comes close. So consider if you've ever wanted one!

That's a beauty. Wildwood has had some good Koa Minis. That's where I got mine. Love it. It recently went to Vancouver with me and fit just fine in the overhead  . Love it ! Everybody should get one!

Both of those are beautiful examples of the Koa GS Minis.  Plus I would give Wildwood guitars two thumbs up.  They are excellent dealers to work with.
