NGD - 2011 Fall Limited Koa GA
« on: May 10, 2012, 12:55:24 PM »
I'm not the best photographer in the world, but here is my new, and first, Taylor - the 2011 Fall Limited Koa (GA).  It sounds as great as it looks (I only wish I could play as good as it looks!).

It looks like you did a great job with the pics. That is a beautiful guitar! I've always loved the look of an all koa guitar and I'll bet it sounds even better than it looks!

Having seen and played every possible concoction of LTD over the years, it was easy to become pretty complacent about them.

These Koas, though, renewed my attention...

Thanks for all the replies - it is a beauty but it sounds great as well.  I was originally looking at the 600 series but I didn't care for the brightness of the maple.  This all Koa brings out the mids a bit more, a sound I like.  This is my first experience with coated strings, and I must say, I'm digging the Elixirs!  I am looking forward to hearing how this guitar opens up in the next few years (and given what it cost, it will probably be that long before my wife green-lights me for another :)
