Ok: I have been working on this for two weeks (off and on) and its almost ready to go to Jerome for his site posting/layout. Please check spelling: both names and guitars! Also if I did not get your guitar correct, pm me with the correct info. I did not go into detail as I wanted to use only OFC names and general guitar discriptions for simplicity and space conciderations. Please let me hear from you by Monday if possible so I can get this to Jerome w/o errors. If I missed someone, sorry: I tried to get everyone!
Here is the link: Amelia Players and Guitars

(when you go to the site, just move the cursor over the pic and the entire title/caption will come up).

No doubt some of the guitars are incorrect: I tried to go from memory: just let me know and I'll correct it! Thanks to everyone for the co-operation!

Elginacres here ...just now getting back to Colorado...haven't posted since the clinic. Music Mike: The guitars with me are the prototype for the 1537, and original slothead #43.
Ciao,

Mike, the 1547 are cutaways. All the ones you say are 1547 are actually 1537.

If you look carefully at the pic of me, you'll see that the guitar I'm holding isn't an OFC slothead (click), but a Samick copy of one. Sell's for about $200......

Beggin managed to stay out of the pictures it appears, but there was a moment when he slipped.

Well that should be perfectly obvious Brad;

#34 is a standard neck in Blue that originally went to Neil Diamond,

#35 on the other hand, is a wide neck Red that resides with CWKII.

Gees, any O or A enthusiast would know that :eek:

LBJ, put an Ovation or an Adamas into any of these folks hands and they all turn into kids! Levels the playing field real quick. :) :D

I'll be more than happy and proud to publish all these nice pics on the site with your authorization.
Thanks to all of you and especially to Mike!!
"Rendez_vous" in 2009 for the next Amelia Clinic because I'll do my best to be there!!
Some of the faces on the pics are familiar to me and it reminds me so many good times.
I miss Al's jokes that I don't understand... :D and I'll be so glad to visit another part of USA.
I've loved so much my first trip in USA. ;)

I was happy to work last night to add these nice pics and to put a face on names of guys that I didn't know!!
The color of the Adamas #2500 is simply wonderful and Beal's Adamas III is a dream...

Thanks and feel free to send me more pics that you'd like to see on the page.
