Like the title asks, just curious to see which models were available in Koa as well as curious if it will be a normal production option or limited time only
I remember somebody, maybe BP, saying that the necks have to be finished because they are Mahogany and it will warp if they don't. Correct me if Im wrong...
I have a JP and a Luke in koa. If I'd known they made a ASS koa, I'd likely have one of those too. I agree about the hardware needing to be gold though.
I've never seen one either. I'm amazed that I haven't to be honest. I am a complete sucker for koa and I've always wanted an ASS. I think I'd have to get one with a trem though...and the gold hardware is just sexy on a koa guitar.
I have a koa BFR Luke II. I don't know if it is more due to the koa top, mahogany neck and body, or the ebony fretboard (the ebony probably has a lot to do with this) but the tone is unique. Very quick and immediate sparkly attack to the notes. Lovely scooped hi-fi sound, especially with the single coils.
Special run for 2016: koa top, mahogany or even better: black limba body, roasted maple neck, ebony fretboard, satin finish, black hardware. Available on JP bfr, jp15, luke, ass or whatever remain, some bass too, etc.
