We love Hawaiian koa, which is why we’re planting it for future generations of musical instruments. A visual virtuoso with tonal brilliance that sweetens with maturity, koa’s pronounced grain patterns and warm golden-brown hues make this series a delight for the senses. Producing a vibrant midrange response, clear trebles and a hint of low-end warmth, each guitar reveals the essence of koa’s natural visual and aural splendor. The sets selected for our Koa Series feature seductive figure, with each guitar showcasing unique character. Standout models include the Grand Auditorium K24ce, along with its ultra-premium Builder’s Edition counterpart, which boasts a comfort-boosting beveled armrest and cutaway, plus the torrefied spruce-topped Builder’s Edition K14ce. Elegant wood and paua shell detailing traces each guitar’s contours, and standard models in the series feature a shaded edgeburst that elevates koa’s innate beauty. These guitars celebrate a revered tonewood and promise a lifetime of musical inspiration.
