You don't deserve koa.
If he came home with a good acoustic that had no cutaway and wasn't made by Martin or Taylor, I'd be pretty stunned.
Bonus question: are there any guitars that he SHOULD try, that he hasn't already?
Any Danelectro or non-Fender/Gibson guitar made in the 60's.
And I really think he should play a few Suhrs.

That would keep him busy for a week. When he gets bored and wants another guitar, all he needs to do is flip it.![]()

Yeah - that is all he needs - getting hooked on custom guitars.![]()
That would be very entertaining for us. Imagine hhave airing on a custom build, having already made a non-refundable downpayment, and then experiencing buyer's remorse when he discovers a luthier he likes even better.

Well, the other thing is that custom electrics would probably hold value as well as new cars. Impossible to flip without taking a hit. Not like classicals or archtops or even top-tier acoustics.
Godin 5th Ave. Or another hollowbody archtop.
