A couple days ago I wandered into Ken Stanton on Dallas hwy and played a few Koa acoustic guitars. The Taylor 224vs-k dlx will be coming home with me soon. What a kind blowing instrument for $1.5k! Incredible tone. So much warmth...Being a pretty percussive player it sounded and felt like the guitar I have been searching for all my life.
Every Koa guitar I played had something that I have always been searching for, sound wise. I have never really given Koa guitars the time of day, for reasons unknown. I always thought it was simply a pretty wood with no flare. I was wrong.
Has anyone played a mini Taylor GS? Laugh all you want, but those mini Taylors are, IMO, incredible. I could not believe how good they are. The mahogany I played was ridiculous, and again, so was the Koa. I would play one on stage. Seriously. They are that good.
This thread has been slacking lately. Where's the fiddles? I just bought my son a mini Fender acoustic and he has been playing that thing non stop for the past 2 weeks. It isn't super high end or anything, but it plays excellent (why I bought it for him to learn) and stays in tune well enough. Most of all, he likes it, and that's what matters.
