Location: Phoenix AZ | So, the Acoustic Guitar Forum (aka Taylor Guitar Forum) is taking a page out of the OFC book and requesting submissions for a 2009 calendar.
AGF CALENDAR
Good for them. The OFC calendars have been really nice and I'm sure the doily knitters over on the Taylor board will do a fine job of it.
But we would not be doing our jobs if we didn't try to have a little fun with this, right? So, I am calling to arms all OFC members. Let's go register on the AGF and absolutely flood their calendar submissions with photos of our roundback guitars. Let's just see how many of them make it into print. I'm guessing, oh, I dunno, maybe, ... zero?
Onward ...

I doubt my pictures of my guitars in front of the Porsches would qualify as having a "neutral" background. |

Those guys are something else.
I'm glad we're not them.
They are also asking for a TeeShirt design...
We got them covered there to, right?? |

See? Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. |

As a public service, we could create a second OFC calendar that features non-Ovation guitars owned by OFC members, and offer it for sale there.
I'm sure the guitars would be at least as nice as anything they come up with, except ours would probably be a little lighter on Taylors... |

Sustained bombardment to completely demoralize and all that. (Not to mention, I'm 2500 miles away from my computer and pictures right now). |

Let's be a little careful with our phrasing and keep it fun for both forums. Good-natured ribbing and some clever give-and-take are one thing, but I don't like provoking people just for the "halibut." :rolleyes:
I've added a few of mine to the submission post, though I'd be more pleased to see them on the OFC Calendar. ;) |

As the one guy said, we're all guitar players and let's just get along. I'd say we're pretty good at that. |

It seems there are a few folks over there exchanging views with one another about whether or not there may be some legal concerns and consequences if they publish a calendar of multiple brand guitar pictures. I was much more interested in seeing pictures of the guitars. |
