Thanks! it's a parts guitar (stratocaster-style), built from mostly 2nd hand but high quality bits.

That is an attractive looking wood, didn't know guitars were made from Koa Cool

Many of the major U.S. guitar makers such as C.F. Martin, Taylor, PRS, etc. have for many years had Koa wood as an option.

Thanks for the information Joe, does Koa have better sonic attributes than other wood types?

I have never tried one, but I am sure each wood type will have its own characteristic tone. I recall reading somewhere that it offers a warmer tone for guitars. Koa is often reserved for the more expensive models and is priced just below Brazilian Rosewood. It is indeed a beautiful wood, but I doubt it will be used if it didn't somehow also enhance the sonic quality in some way. A guitar made of Koa can cost several times more than the same model in Mahogany.

Thanks again Joe, never gave too much thought to the wood used on guitars Cool

During my high school years, I purchased a used, but mint condition Fender Stratocaster electric guitar with a maple body. At that time all I knew was it sounded really good, and I did get my money back when it was sold.

Perhpas the Woodsong Koa wood plinths will cost more than other types - eh?

Tony, a maple-bodied Fender Stratocaster would be incredibly heavy and incredibly rare. Maple is more often used for the necks (with a maple or rosewood fingerboard). Perhaps you're thinking of that?

Alder and ash would be the more common tonewoods for a Strat body.

P.S.: I can only think of a Hellecaster that was made by Fender with a maple body.

RE: Woodsong Plinths - Tony Tune-age - 2012-04-27 14:51

Perhaps, but I don't remember. There was a finish on the guitar body, so no doubt it could have been some other wood. For some reason, maple stood out in my memory.
