Lindo Koya
A guitar covered in Japanese-inspired art was far outside what I would normally buy, which became the reason to buy it.

The Story
Section titled “The Story”The finish is art, and the guitar takes a more economical approach to guitar making than the Custom Shop instruments elsewhere in the collection. That difference is part of its purpose. It plays nicely, is easy to grab, and brings something visually distinct into the room even when it is not being played.
It is not trying to be the same sort of guitar as the high-end Gibsons. It is the “something different” guitar, and I enjoy it for exactly that.
