Title: Anyone seen or played the 000-60 Koa?
Post by: Old Neil on June 07, 2007, 03:53:04 AM
They sure look like they sound nice! I'm still not totally convinced that Koa is a great tonewood but the best example I have yet seen was a custom all Koa (top as well) Larrivée.
Any opinions?

   Yes,  I've played it.  Killer sound.  Had a someone's name taped to the front of it the last time I was in the store,  so I'm not sure if it's sold or what.  Some of the best sounding Larrivee guitars I've heard were koa back & sides.  Not convinced it makes a great top wood though. Just my opinion.

Generally, I agree with both those assessments Woodcrazy. This particular all koa guitar was a smaller bodied custom present from Jon Larrivée to a local dealer.
Thanks for your reply regarding the 000-60. I assume there weren't too many made.
