    Default New KOA A5

    Finally got this one completed. Red spruce top, KOA neck back & side, Curly maple binding and overlay, CA radius bridge, ebony radius FB with abalone position dots and large frets. A James tailpiece and of course a KOA McClung inlaid armrest & PG.
    I strung it up and took it to a jam Tuesday Nice tone and projects really well.

    I did a quick mp3 using my Fostex recorder and my AT4033 microphone, no effects.

    I really like Koa. The contrast of the PG and the top is really cool. Great sound and playing too.
    Thanks

    Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......
