NGD - Koa Black Water Guitar!!

[InFlames235]

After 1 and 1/2 years it has FINALLY arrived!! I couldn't be more excited. I just received it at work so I just had enough time to open it up, check it out and snap some pictures for you folks but I will definitely be playing this thing when I get home and updating this post with a review. As far as first impressions go, I am absolutely blown away by how this looks. See for yourselves:

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I just got through a night of playing with it and man this thing is a beast. Yea, it look a VERY long time receive, but I can see why his wait list was so jam packed. This thing plays smoother/faster than my Petrucci guitar which is pretty insane IMO.

Thats pretty awesome looking, I dig that far more than fancy finished maple tops.

Haha ya, I already have a guitar with all the finishing/paint/etc. and I always wanted a guitar that was natural as possible. Really like how crazy the wood is on the koa. My girlfriend yesterday asked me how the guitar maker was able to make the wood like that and I blew her mind when I told her that it's naturally like that

I loved the one I had and yours looks great too. Definitely a step up from the EBMM stuff.
