Location: Indiana | Thanks Arthur.
Noticed your parlor this morning. Since this is going to be a worker, was specifically looking for the 98 with the 14 fret neck, paddle headstock and OP24 pre. This may get retopped down the road. I've taken a number at Dan's mod shop.
Good luck with your sale. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I just took my 5741 for a walk around the block, since I had pulled it out to measure it.
Mine is a nice guitar for it's age. It sounds good.
I also like the preamp, even if I don't care for the E-tuner.
That tuner will work in a pinch if you have left your Snark at home.
But I like the OP-24+ features and power.

Location: Indiana | I received the guitar today. Undervalued and reviewed by the seller. It's in near perfect condition.
I'll admit to a certain amount of snobbery here... bottom end/bass snobbery. I played an endorsers event in '97ish with Mark O’Connor and that was the only time I'd played an O parlor... up to now. I was dismissive then. As I said, all about the rumble then.
Now, I must say what a great accomplishment Beal and his team achieved with this instrument. Very distinct balanced voice.
Keeper. |

Way to go Jm. Good get.....

We discussed a torified top but at the time I was looking for a beater. We'll see what happens after I work with this a while. Sounds awfully good as is. And we all know Mother does the nicest bursts around. |

Still love to have one of these with a suspended
ring and Adamas soundboard. I'd be the envy of all my friends. |
