There is something about the rich, golden hue of koa

that is instantly pleasing to the eye. The physical structure

of the wood presents a visual dimensionality that is

found in few other timbers. These lovely aesthetics combined

with exceptional sonic qualities makes koa one

of the most desirable tonewoods with which to build a

sweet guitar. Takamine pays homage to this fine timber

with the creation of the TF87-PT slot head New Yorker.
