I can't seem to link the photos using my phone. But if you check on the official pics of your guitar page it is up over there. And of course this avatar

I narrowed it down to my two favorite pictures of mine. Plus it shows how the colour kind of changes in different lighting.

oh, ya.. James, with his flamed koa top.
Aiiii... Looking goooood

Hope MM factory have some flamed maple when I am ready to order..

 

[James C]

I like to take up every opportunity to show it off, cause I love the guitar so much!

Flamed Maple is something I think they'll always have, did you mean flamed Koa?

I love the Koa tops, most beautiful there is IMO.
But what about the tone? What's the tone-qualities of the Mahogany compared to the Alder and Basswood?

 

[James C]

It sounds a lot more full, especially the Piezo. It just sounds like a beautiful full wall of sound.
Tone it down a little bit and you get the Alder body w/Mahogany tone block.
Then even more so you'll get the Basswood.
I find at least.

Described it nice and well Cheers for that mate!
Another thing though, I've heard that the golden stuff on the hardware can wear off, is this true?

 

[James C]

I sure hope it doesn't tarnish, not for a long time at least.
