Friends,

I may regret this...no, I WILL regret this.  This is a special OM10K with a very unique set of highly figured koa (take a look at the pictures).  This guitar was sold to me by our friend unclrob, and has been very well loved and cared for (always in the case when not being played, etc.).  It has a custom made bone nut and saddle, professionally installed no-cut L.R. Baggs I-mix, and has just had a professional set-up and plays like a dream.  The sound is warm and rich as this one has had ample opportunity to open up.  I have not heard bass response from another koa guitar that compares to this one, and it's both a great fingerstyle guitar and flatpicker.  It's just simply a beautiful guitar...it's got the looks and the sound to match.

The condition is excellent and the top has aged to nice amber color.  I'm asking $2,000.00 shipping included (CONUS).  Koa is getting harder to come by and the price keeps going up, and koa like this just isn't around anymore! :nana_guitar

Justin,
I'd say you are one fortunate guitar player to be the owner of such a fine instruement. Don't know if I could part with that one. Unless of course it was to me!
Hope she goes to a good home.

Hi Justin - is the OM still available? I recently got a Martin D-28SV that I thought was gonna be the end of my guitar buying, but the body is just too wide for comfort. I'd be real interested in yours if I can get mine sold in a reasanable time frame. I don't suppose you'd be interested in a trade?
Skip

Be careful, Justin. My Koa OM is the only guitar I've ever really regretted selling!

Deb

Skip - PM sent.

Still available!  Deb, I know I will regret this...Let's hope I don't come back to my senses and decide to pull it out and play it.  I may change my mind.  Once I make a decision to sell a guitar, I polish it up and put it in the case.  They never see the light of day in my house again - that way I don't get cold feet.  This one would give VERY cold feet.

Cheers,
Justin

It's gorgeous! Mine was just an OM-09, and the koa wasn't that spectacular looking, although it did have a really pretty honey-colored stripe) I couldn't believe it when Rob decided to sell this one. I hope someone buys it soon so you don't weaken.

Best of luck (and congrats to the future owner!)

Deb

If I had the cash....oh me oh my.  I'll keep a close eye on who this one sells to.

I wish I wasn't so doggone fiscally responsible. I'm having a serious gas attack.

She's sold everybody...thanks for looking.  Skip's the happy new owner.  He turned out to be a neighbor of mine!  Small world, eh?

Justin

Yep - it's time for everyone to show the proper amount of envy. It's Mine! It's Mine! It's Mine! Whole lot prettier than the pics and sounds really good. Also glad to have met another forumite in the process, and we are, indeed, neighbors as Justin mentioned. We plan to get together for some pickin' sessions sometime soon. I plan to put everything on hold and practice tonight!
