They have a huge rumbling full sound and are great for anyone that doesn't have a great singing voice (or a limited range like me). If you can sing like Cliff, then they are of limited use IMHO.
I have a USA made one available for sale...pics in the for sale section of my OFC gallery. |

| The DS-768 was a USA Longneck. This particular one appears to be one of the last ones made, with the Optima; I don't remember if they ever had the OP-24...the foreign made Longneck had smaller fret markers... |

| ..by the way, does anyone remember the Tobaccoburst Longneck that came up on ebay last year? It didn't sell the first time and I haven't seen it since...what a beautiful instrument.
