The sellers pics did not do justice to the flame koa. adriaan Intermediate Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 149 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 19, 2004 - 2:26 am:    Let's face it: pictures never do justice to koa because it's just hard to photograph properly with all the tricks it plays on the light that strikes it. But hey, that's a pretty good effort! That's a very goodlooking bass, and it's nice to get to know such a close relative of my 88 koa Spoiler (http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/7309.html?1072867394). Just a warning: don't stare at it all day, pick it up and play it from time to time. bassman10096 Advanced Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 240 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, March 19, 2004 - 4:35 am:    Great looking bass. I agree about Koa. It is hard to get a good picture. Yours looks great, though. Thanks for the picture!

The two dark opposing grainlines look so neat on that book matched top.
