Short answer: Because they sound better to me! And they sound more interesting. All-Koa guitars have a unique envelope in almost every case I’ve played, though nearly all are ridiculously overbuilt, whether vintage or new. I’ve played a few old ones, mostly at Schoenberg’s shop, which are loose and loud, and are a lot of fun to play, and certainly serious musical instruments. So, the several I’ve made are certainly not overbuilt, and are up to a level where they could be a player’s only guitar. Personally, for me it would just be another arrow in the quiver, but oh what an arrow! Did I mention the emotional impact of the appearance? Stunning beauty!!!
