Especially timely this month. And a QCB beauty. I like it and I don't even play that thing with six small strings (at least, not outside the house).

Michael,
What a nice job on all of the inlay along with the other custom features! Admirably "Koco Lee" is a beautiful guitar. May you have many years of playing it healthy!
Congratulations,
Art

Michael:

I'M CUCKOO FOR KOCO!

Welcome to the six stringer COTM club. WOW - an absolutely lovely take on the Further design. Hhhmmmm ..... replace the PH in the neck with vermilion ..... lose the effects loop ..... obviously a man of impeccable taste! lol. I LOVE the side mounted jack (wish I'd thought of that). So what does the "boost" switch do? BTW, do you notice Koco projecting out the back when you play unplugged?

Bill, tgo

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Koco Lee sounds amazing.

Bill, the boost switch is a variable switch that cleanly boosts the output. When I play Koco acoustically, it projects out the back, to the sides and through the neck like nothing I've ever played. The instrument is simply incredible.

Wow!!! What a work of art. Congratulations. Can you just imagine the pressure of being responsible for getting those body inlays just right? Not like a fretboard you can just remove if something goes wrong.
