This is my new spoiler that I bought off E-bay a couple of weeks ago. The sellers pics did not do justice to the flame koa.

Let's face it: pictures never do justice to koa because it's just hard to photograph properly with all the tricks it plays on the light that strikes it. But hey, that's a pretty good effort! That's a very goodlooking bass, and it's nice to get to know such a close relative of my 88 koa Spoiler (http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/411/7309.html?1072867394).
 
Just a warning: don't stare at it all day, pick it up and play it from time to time.

Great looking bass.  I agree about Koa. It is hard to get a good picture.  Yours looks great, though.  Thanks for the picture!

Yes, It is very distinct and nice.

That is an awesome Flamed Koa top! The two dark opposing grainlines look so neat on that book matched top.
