Nice. I came very close to buying an LTD bass with a top like that.

Thanks everybody. This guitar is amazingly beautiful and playability is incredible. I tuned it to A E A D G B E for jazz purpose and i'm thinking about maybe getting a bigger gauge than 056 on the low A string. Other than that, i will probably lower the pickups height to get a more complex sound, but overall the guitar is a beast. I'll try to post pictures of the KOA back when the sun comes back.

Yes, this guitar has a 25.5 scale. I'm switching to university in electric jazz guitar after this summer, but at the moment im pretty much into all the djenty stuff like Periphery. I wish i had a camera to post a video of this guitar, it sounds really tight into the Krank RevJr, and even better into the pod 2.0. I might put some BKP's into my axe because those Carvin pickups are decent, but not incredible.

You guys have any advice considering pickup height since i keep hitting the single coil with my plectrum. I've read lower the pickups are to the strings, more the wood will affect your tone. On the other hand, i love heavy string gauge on lower tunings, maybe i should get a 011,012 56 on the low A, what y'all think?

Congrats on the beautiful guitar !
Yes- I would definitely try lowering the pickups !
I have an H-S-S Carvin Bolt in Koa and I have the pickups low so there is no pick noise unless I pick hard.
It has generally thicker Strat type tones this way, very warm but articulate.
So start very low and work your way up- the AP11 middle will still sound good all the way down almost to the deck,- you won't have to be that low.
Does the guitar have a good loud unplugged resonance and FAT tones on the Neck pickup ?
