Koa has a sweet warm tone, much like mahogany. The through body construction enhances the sustain. It plays nice, the feel is much more "personal" compared to my Ibanez, it just feels right. The neck is fast and smooth. Carvin really makes a great product, to have them build this for me was truely a gift to myself. Price wise it was expensive, but not so bad considering it was comparable to off the shelf guitars. I paid just over $1,300 (us dollars) maybe 9 years ago. Koa is a very rare wood these days as it is illegal to harvest and felled wood is in short supply. To have them make this for me today would be close to twice the cost just from the koa cost alone. It is more suited for blues, rock than shredding. I am glad you liked it
