Coo Coo for Cocobolo!!!

[Anonymous]

Damn I love my Taylor Limited Fall Edition 2009 Cocobolo with Koa trim!!! Its possibly one of the most well rounded acoustics I have ever played in my life, and even in every spectrum. I will never part with it, and I should put pics up but Im too damn lazy!!! Anyone else notice that guitars made with Cocobolo are a cheaper alternative to Brazilian rosewood and sound about the damn same? I know not alot of you guys are too interested in acoustics, but I thought I should share. I have had this thing for a year and love it everytime I play it!!!

I too love the acoustic! A big fan of Cocobolo and Koa here. That's a great guitar you've got.

Oh wow, ok! I used to go down that way and meet up with Sgt. Thrump and Japetus in Waterloo.

I'd love to set up an Illinois Ampfest again. We've got quite a few guys from Illinois on the boards now. If I can get enough interest, I'll set something up.

That will be killer when I am back in Illinois finally!!! I dont have great chops, but I would love to hear people play and help dial in the amps to compare... I will bring by my herbert, and 2 channel dual rec, and meathead when I finally get one!

DAYUM!!! That is one SICK looking neck!!! I would be afraid to custom order a guitar from that guy and have it take 4 years to get... why such a long wait? Are the guitars he builds really worth their wait? How do they compare to other boutique guitars?

Well, he's very picky with details, he doesn't charge enough for his work, so he got overloaded with orders. He builds 100% custom, whatever you want. The guitar arrives this week ....
