Thing of Beauty.

TonyKgull,

I'll keep looking for a good video.
Seen a lot of Taylor Koa guitars videos, again most are not the best videos on the planet.

Yes third time lucky.

Must admit it it a great guitar, Taylor make top quality guitars.
The Model in the video is £2,000 but there is a Sale on at the moment so £1,699.
My new Tanglewood Koa guitar was only a quarter of the price, but in all fairness it looks very similar and the tone is very close (not easy to tell from video), but we're the Taylor really scores is, resale value I would probably get £350 for mine, Taylor would get the same as you bought it for, in a year or two more than likely could make a profit, with how things are going.
Koa guitars have a tone unlike any other guitar tone-wood, not better or worse but different, I like it, played it every day for a few hours since I got it, in fact it's the only guitar I played since I got it.
Anyway really pleased for you that you have found the one, with your Alvarez guitars, enjoy.

 PS , I f you get the time , just look at the comments to the video,  on YouTube.

The Tanglewood Koa guitar in almost two weeks old, the following may not be of interest to any one, but I'm still going to write it.

I've played the guitar everyday since I got it, the only thing I've done to it is fit a new set of strings, and polish the frets, this is something I do with all my new guitars.
Anyway today I have thoroughly inspected and checked the complete setup in detail, and absolutely surprised that everything is spot on, nothing to adjust, for a guitar of this price I'm blow away.
It maybe pure luck, but I'm totally impressed.
I've had guitars in the past costing three times the price of this Tanglewood, and they have needed a decent set up, to say the least.

Just a quick.

If I've got me dates right, I've had the Tanglewood Koa Guitar 3 weeks now, and I've just got to mention this.
I've played the guitar everyday since I bought it, liked the tone and enjoy playing it, but read that Koa guitars are very slow to open up, around two years.
Well don't know, but this guitar sounds far better than when I bought it, far more volume, sustain, beautiful tone/sound and the most responsive guitar I've ever had, now if this guitar is going to carry on opening up, it will end up one hell of a guitar.
I'll try my best not to report on this guitar again, but I've just got to tell someone.
