You already have a 1680 you hog. I like the looks of the slothead better anyway. Your 1680 is my dream guitar.....

That's the one - didn't want to post a pic as Als site says they're copyrighted.

Anyhow as Twisted says I've got a 1680 already but it's darned tempting :)

There's probably no point having it if you own a 1680 but still one can dribble.

I hope not to have made a mistake with the picture ...
I would not be banished from the OFC. :rolleyes:

But I persist, it is a beautiful guitar and the next owner will be a lucky guy!!

Peg head, 14 fret, cut away... not like your father's (nor mine) 1680! ;)

BTW, I ordered a black saddle and nut from the MS for my 1680. I'll call it my 'Svelte Stealth'!

Along the same sort of lines, I was thinking about getting a 1581 Kaki King style, (but without the crown inlay and motif around the multi holes)...

Is that the same as the suspension ring?

No. The tone attachment ring is a large brass hoop that you thread through your earlobe which due to its shape and density (the ring, not your ear) extenuates the mid to high frequencies of the guitar as hear by the player.

Dang. My wife put mine through my nose. No wonder it didn't help my tone.
