Haven't seen any of those before. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3277 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 4:07 pm:    "Active and passive modes"??????

I think all early Spoilers had a solid Koa body... basstard Advanced Member Username: basstard Post Number: 242 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 2:06 am:    Yes, and the earliest ones had decals instead of bronze logos. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2021 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 3:05 am:    The pics look a bit unnaturally light to me. I had an '82 solid koa and it looked more orange than this. The ebony looks sort of light brown, too, so I think the balance on the photos might be a bit off. dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 862 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 6:30 am:    My 83 (now black) was solid koa. I was under the impression that the first runs were that way. The Kaman ad featured the solid koa type. In 86 I was able to get the different top and Alembic chose a purpleheart body for the quilt maple top. Of course with Alembics there are exceptions and one offs. basstard Advanced Member Username: basstard Post Number: 243 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 6:45 am:    As far as I know, the earliest ones were solid koa. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 738 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 9:55 am:    I've had two '83 Spoilers (still have one of them) one Yellowish and one brownish (Both solid Koa, see pics) @ Danno: Please tell me you did not paint that beautiful Koa Black?! That's heresy! (finally got to use the angry smiley ) Edit: There are some '83 Spoilers in the showcase section with a top, I guess somewhere in the second half of '83 the Koa wasn't standard on the spoilers anymore...
