The cool thing about Koa is that each set seems to have its own unique beauty. Judging from the set you have chosen,  I'll bet that it will be equally as beautiful.  Looking forward to the end result!
My Taylor Grand Auditoriums:

1997 Cujo14 - old growth cedar/black walnut
2014 K24e - master grade koa
2018 Custom GA - bear claw sitka spruce/mahogany
2019 614 - torrified sitka spruce/flamed maple
2020 714 - lutz spruce/rosewood

Thats another two weeks gone by. Still haven't heard anything about it yet. So I guess it will be next week or maybe its delayed. :( please don't make me wait eight months like a custom martin would .... fingers crossed!

Taylor's pretty good about staying on or ahead of schedule.  They have a scheduled shutdown coming up in the near future,  so there may be a slight delay. Hang in there!

They tend to take pre-set "company vacations" at certain times of the year, shutting down altogether over the big holidays.  The schedule is usually posted on their website.  But it is rarely for more than a week.
Taylors:  424-LTD (all koa) and a 114ce that lives with friends in Alaska.  Low maintenance carbon fiber guitars are my "thing" these days, but I will always keep the koa 424.  Several ukulele and bass guitars too. 
*Gone but not forgotten:  a 2001 414ce, 410, 354-LTD twelve string, 314-N, 416-LTD baritone, T5 Classic, 615ce, 2006 GS-K, 1996 (first year) Baby

That is going to be one beautiful guitar! Congrats! The wait will be well worth it.
