I would like to publicly welcome our newest member to the OFC, Ichiro Katayama, President of Takamine. We've been friends for close to thirty years and I'm glad he has come to join us here. I had sent an email telling about all the good pictures and comments about Taks from the AmeliaMatt Clinic and he came to check them out.

Welcome Ichiro, and as they say Good Morning down here in Florida, "Ohio Adamas".

When someone's short an axe at the guitar pull I am often heard to shout, "Here, you tak-a-mine. Okayforyou."

Welcome aboard from abroad.

Welcome Mr. Katayama.

Do you play as well as build?

Also a warning; Don't make the same mistake Bill did and give us your address or you'll find half of the group or more at your home tracking dirt and putting finger prints on all your guitars!

Nice guitars you've got there by the way.
