NTGD Yipee!! - 2011 Fall Ltd Koa GA

Absolutely stunning! Sometimes I wonder who actually determines the wood, inlays, and everything else involved with Taylor's limiteds. This limited style is GORGEOUS!

I need oxygen....  That just took my breath away.  A beautiful guitar indeed.  A wonderful Christmas gift as well.  Merry Christmas

[markallen]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I've been playing every chance I've had for the past 48 hours. I promised I'd put it down for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Then it's off for a week of vacation and I will miss playing my new instrument the whole time. Have a blessed Christmas everyone!!

Larry Breedlove & Andy Powers had a lot to do with this year's Fall LTDs & i'm quite certain
that they both worked on the design of the 'twisted', 'pipe-liine' & current PS inlays as well

i believe that Larry, among others at Taylor, also designed the L30 inlays/rosettes in 04 -
wood availability & the appointments are most likely determined by product development/R&D

I was lucky enough to play one of these at George's music in orlando. It didn't "speak" to me, but I wish it did b/c yours looks freaking sweet!

I hear koa opens up nicely, but I don't know anyone that has a koa guitar so I was nervous about waiting to hear how it sounded opened up

[markallen]

Zee, I'm hoping to accelerate the opening up process by using the ToneRite on it while I'm away on vacation this week. While mama and I are down in Branson,  the Koa is at home doing the shake, rattle, roll with the ToneRite.  I'll report back the results next week.

Wow, have a good trip, I know you have been enjoying playing that beautiful guitar.

Congrats on a beauty!  I, myself, just got one in a GS flavor for Christmas.  This one's a keeper for sure.

Without pics it didn't happen!

Looks like an awesome guitar. I too have a GA (12 fret) Koa from this limited run.
The flame is better than I was anticipating.
Congrats!

The Koa series went fast, congrats on securing one and enjoy your new Taylor!

yup, i saw that you wrote that in an earlier post. if it works out for you, i'll probably use ToneRite on my 914 (when it comes next year lol)

man, can't stop going back to this thread to look at the pics. i really wished i could have heard a koa that opened up in person, price difference was a wash between the koa ltd and my future 914

I saw them at the factory on the tour...played one of the demos and just thought it was a really nice player and one of the prettier guitars that I have seen lately. Enjoy!

The more I see the the more I love them. Congrats on the new guitar and God bless Taylor for the edgeburst
