[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3980041, member: 44328"] I will post one more... The body and neck on this one are also made of Koa My dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor in the early '50s in the Navy, my older sister was born there. They wanted some Koa furniture, but it was pretty expensive, so they bought a slab of Koa wood, shipped it back to the mainland, where my uncle made it into a coffee table. I remember the table being in our living room until I was about 14 or 15 years old. I found the coffee table in mom's attic several years ago, and took it to Liggett Guitars ([URL='http://www.liggettguitars.com']Liggett Guitars[/URL]) in Owasso, and Ben built this custom guitar from it. There is a picture of my sister when she was about a year old that they took in Honolulu, wearing a Hawaiian Lei, a straw hat, and a grass skirt. Ben made a scrimshaw image of the photo and inlaid it into the 12th fret on the neck. We call it The Hula Girl Guitar. Ben is an artist and craftsman, having him build a guitar is like building your own AR-15.... you get everything exactly as you want it.
