Missing it. Going to buy another or Fall Coco..Hmm... I prefer the Fall Cocobolo LTD, but if you've already got a bright guitar in the Koa then I'd say get the 914 Rosewood for contrast. At the end of the day though I reckon one Taylor is enough for that Taylor tone (especially if they're going to be the same shape) and you could save your money either for other purposes or to get a different brand, but that's just me.The Koa will mellow a lot over the next couple years if it is played a lot. That is the problem with Koa, if you buy for today you will be disappointed when it changes. If you buy for the future you will not like playing it because it doesn't sound like you expect and you have to keep playing it to get there. Coco and Koa will sound completely different in the long run.-DaveWhat I am about to post contradicts just about every Koa post. My Koa Ltd is not very bright. In fact, it is warmer sounding than my old 914CE. I think I got one of those rare Koa's that plays - "played in" out of box. Does it sound like a 10 year old Koa? No. But, it is the nicest Koa I have ever played. Oddly enough I bought it new from an obscure dealer in the midwest and had it shipped. Hey, every squirrel finds a nut :-)
