I had the great good fortune of buying locally this beautiful Koolau custom made in 2006 by Andrew Kitakis and Noah Bonk. It is a flaming mahogany back and sides with a spruce top, rope binding. It was custom made for a local musician who was friends with Lyle Ritz. It feels and sounds fantastic. Cosmetically it is almost perfect.
Here is a sound sample:
