Taylor KOA with Pike Inlays

I couldn't find the exact guitar on this website however I have the Limited 2011 year (I think) with the Hawaiian KOA back, Fish bone and Pike Inlays. Very nice guitar to play and like all acoustics...once you find one that speaks to you, you snatch it up right away.

The action is very nice with this guitar and it has IMO a perfect balance of sound between a Gibson and Martin. The workmanship of this guitar is flawless compared to the Gibson and Martin guitars I compared it too. Some will debate that it's not really a good comparison, which I accept, it's just a matter of what appeals to the individual and this is simply my opinion. Well done Robert!!!
