Taylor Koa FLTD

Just picked this up yesterday from the good folks at Blues Angel Music in Pensacola. It is my first Koa guitar and I am really enjoying the tone. I wonder if using medium stings would be recommended on this model?

Love the look of Koa. Congrats!!

I would definitely try medium strings. Koa is an understated sound and the heavier gauge should enhance the tone and volume.

What model is that? I would only try medium gauge if it's recommended. Also, play that guitar a lot and you will be surprised at how much the Koa opens up. Koa takes time to break in but once it does then you will have an exceptional sounding guitar.

It is their fall limited koa 326 GS body

The Taylor website suggests lights for this model. At least that's what they ship with.

You might contact Taylor to see if mediums will be OK. I have 6 Taylors and usually only on their dreads and jumbos are mediums OK.
