(The company is called Siglo Tonewoods.)Part of our commitment is to contribute to current forest restoration efforts in Hawaii on a project basis through contracts with Hawaiian landowners.As specified in these stewardship agreements, Siglo is permitted to cut a select number of designated koa trees, and in exchange, we invest dollar for dollar in a host of forest improvement projects.These arrangements have enabled us to cut into more koa logs ourselves and discover far more varieties of koa wood, featuring a rich palette of colors with beautiful striping. (We hadn t previously been exposed to this type of koa in dealing with suppliers.) We gave this wood its own classification as Select-grade.Taylor master builder Andy Powers was excited by the new opportunities this wood presented. It inspired him to design what became the Koa 700 Series. He wanted to honor the unique characteristics of this wood by offering players another compelling koa playing experience.Unique Design FeaturesSelect-grade koa: Boasts rich color variegation and straight grain structureUltra-thin matte finish :Feel: The thin open-pore finish creates a warm and inviting tactile sensation; you can feel the natural wood texture, creating a more intimate connection to the guitarSound: Together with slightly altered back bracing, the voicing is different from our KoaSeries: a livelier, punchier, more direct response, making it exceptionally player-reflectiveAppointmentsFretboard/Peghead Inlay: New Fountain design in mother-of-pearlBody Edge Treatment: Indian rosewood binding (including soundhole)Rosette: Single ring, paua and rosewoodTuners: Taylor polished bronzeOther Unique Features: Maple/black/rosewood top edge trim, dark-stained maple pickguard I wanted to offer traditional appointments, with a focus on natural materials like wood and shell. I wanted the inlay to be unobtrusive and not too heavy in its ornamentation.
