Undecided, looking for opinions.
Koa would definitely be very cool! I know Misha had one made sometime ago.

I love that guitar but keep in mind that his Koa was special made and has a different finish than the regular Koa's. I think his had a Cherry Burst veneer of some sort so it was the Koa finish (Island Burst currently) + a little Cherry Burst.
I read through that guitar's NGD thread. According to his description, it is a standard Island Burst finish and Koa top, but it has a rosewood veneer in between the koa and alder back, so it has the brown perimeter around the figured top, as you would find on a Cherry Burst/Maple BFR. So the difference is not the finish, but the wood beneath the koa top.
