These are Book Matched KOA Twins, the guitars are book matched to each other.
Look closely to see the faces are one piece high figure KOA sequentially sliced and matched.
Much of this species is now protected by international wood treaty as well as Hawaiian wood cutting policies These slices were legally harvested.
The main Body Wood is AAAAA Select Honduras Mahogany, from a time when the best was select harvested, Legally out of Honduras.
These date back to my Series 1 late 1990's early 2000's when I was 25 years younger and a lot more energy, desire, and so on.
On this series I was going for the most Hawaiian , Western sonic tone as I could muster up.
On advisement from several prominent Pedal Steel Makers of that time (Most of which are no longer with us) I went with the Brass Pin Roller system (Nickel Plated).
This teamed with the CNC Milled String and nut receivers, the result is awesome.
The Twin KOA's are a pair and will only be sold as a pair, of course to a true collector, appreciator of the art Form. These are for one who can afford.
Enjoy the photos
