Videos with interesting koa content. We always hear that koa is getting more and more scarce? True or not?

Nice videos.

In the first video, he just said that it was "hard to get" and that they were now "comfortable" to offer it again. I can interpret that as meaning that they were previously unable to find a lumber vendor who could provide them with a consistent supply of the grade they wanted at the price that they wanted.

Andy, when I ordered my all koa 5-string bass (headstock, neck and body - see my profile picture) from Carvin a couple of years ago it took almost 5 months for them to make it primarily because they were waiting for the wood...
