2 cents here: I have a Breedlove C25 with koa back and sides and a German spruce top. Most folks see it and fall in love with it; sound techs rave about it's stage sound, and players across the board have told me how special the guitar is, so...

Again, every guitar is different. If you like the look of the wood, search until you find the instrument that sounds like what you want to hear. I've stated here before how much I like mine, and a good friend of mine has a Taylor koa that he just raves about. So, you might get your hands on a couple of Breedlove's and a Taylor or two and see what you think. Good luck.................harrison
