Hello everyone. I've recently decided to expand my musical talents by taking on guitar lessons at the local university. I'd like to purchase a nice guitar made from Koa wood. Yes I do realize it might be a bit expensive, I don't mind. Would love some reviews or suggestions on where to find one. Thanks

These are easily found now online. You can Google search for Taylor Koa or Martin Koa or even just Acoustic Koa Guitar and find some variety to choose from.

Thank you so much. I do see one that I admire. I intend to purchase one right away. These are very nice guitars and they look absolutely astonishing.

Alvarez, Michael Kelly, and Ibanez all have exotic wood product lines. I would recommend any of them any day, and they're a good deal cheaper than Taylor or Martin. Granted, if you've got the bread to snag yourself either of those two, and that's what you like, I'm not going to make any effort to stop you. Still, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to check those brands out as well.
