Members cerebrix Posted August 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 after reading a lot of threads here one thing I took a chance on was going with the standard medium jumbo frets. I had it so in my head that huge frets always = better but ill tell ya, chording actually IS a bit easier and I dont seem to have any trouble with vibrato with these frets either. When I play, I tend to not think about how big/small they are/aren't. I just play. I'm glad this place is here to help me do research. Coming in at .048" H .103" W, these are already a little bit bigger than the standard, gibson/fender/prs medium jumbo's anyway. God I'M LOVING THIS GUITAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I am my friend, that I am. What grabbed me about koa wasn't the look, tbh, natrual finish guitars really arent my gig. But what grabbed me was the tone. For a double cut, this thing is heafty. has that heavy meat of a les paul for rhythm, but has the bite I like for leads, the maple stripes in the neck kinda help with that as well. for me, its the perfect combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heem6 Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 Looks like a real cool guitar and it's exactly what I like - tung oil neck and a Floyd Rose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ak47dragunov Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 that finish is radical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wmcjhi Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 You know, I'm glad to see that. I've got a full custom on order in that exact finish. Ordered a few months ago. I had never seen anything like that before...was just on the USA custom guitars site page and fiddling with colors and came upon that and liked it. Concept (except w/ baretta body shape): What's done so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
