Yeah, I know there's no such thing, but a master volume upgrade on an S1 is mighty nice. ;D
This one's got the usual issues, but wow - what a stunner! I believe that's a flamed koa back. And that's after you get over the top. 8)

The top might be koa too, "watermark koa".

Could be Adriaan... I was hoping Mica might take a guess at it. Sure looks like koa, but I've never seen a piece with that amount of bubbles. Initially I thought it was birdseye maple, but the color isn't quite right, even for aged maple.
Whatever it is, me likey. :)

Some bubbles at home ...
