Koa Top Set - 001
As you may have noticed, finding high-quality Koa sets has become increasingly difficult, especially material with consistent color and natural figure. We've had the opportunity to acquire a limited number of Koa tops, that offer excellent overall character, with subtle to moderate flame throughout.
These sets showcase the natural beauty that makes Koa so desirable. Warm color, pleasing variation, and understated figure come together in a way that works across a wide range of builds. Availability is limited, and we are unsure if or when we will be able to source additional sets.
This set has the size potential for an acoustic guitar top, or pieced out for your custom ukulele.
Approximate dimensions of each bookmatched half:
28-1/2" x 8-1/2" x .175"
(723.9mm x 215.9mm x 4.445mm)
Koa, Acacia koa
Hailing from the lush Hawaiian islands, Koa is a dense tropical hardwood that’s been revered for making ukuleles and guitars for decades. Rare and exceptionally stunning, true Acacia koa is only found in this tropical paradise.
Tonally, Koa is positioned between mahogany and maple, highlighting the best qualities of both. Its strong mid-range is similar in sound to mahogany, while its sparkling top end more closely resembles maple. Well-suited for rhythm and lead playing, both flat and finger-picked notes have incredible depth and clarity.
Koa is breathtakingly gorgeous, the colors range from golden amber, to rich browns and blacks, and even occasional hints of purple. Many pieces boast some of the most outstanding figuring and movement of any tonewood available.
