This was one of those moments we’ll never forget.
Captured at the Breedlove Custom Shop in Bend, Oregon, this video shows the emotional moment when a customer sees his custom koa guitar for the first time. His reaction says it all—but the story behind his wood choice is just as powerful.
He chose koa not just for its tone and beauty, but for its meaning. Native only to the Hawaiian Islands and harvested exclusively by Indigenous communities, koa is known as a warrior wood—symbolizing resilience, strength, and honor.
For him, it reflects decades of life, love, marriage, and music. And after 47 years of playing guitar, he says the tone is simply unmatched: mellow, bright, warm, and inviting.
