Koa is a beautiful tonewood found primarily in Hawaii. Played the Taylor K65 12 String and it was gorgeously lush sounding. James Goodall uses quite a bit of koa (he's based in Maui) and Koa pops up on occasion on custom Taylors, Gibsons, and Alvarez-Yairis. To me it sounds like a cross between Mahogany and Rosewood.
