Location: Paris/France | Last week end was the annual "Guitars Picker's Association" gathering in Alsace (east of France).
Some french OFCer's were there like Tom, Rémy, Edouard, Arnaud, François etc... and we were so happy to welcome Karl from Germany for the first time.
Of course, we had a thought for you all and especially for Al... ;)
It was a great week end with lots of O's and A's and music and fun!!
Now, we have to wait 12 month till the next edition... :(

Jerome, who are the other fellows holding the O's and A's? You've definitely got an Ovation get-together going on there....
Looks like a great time was had by all.

They brew some great beer in Alsace.
Guitars and Beer... the making of a great time. Only one thing missing from that equation.... |

| Well Jeff looks like the answer to how many taylor owners would do something like this, is........Two. But I'll bet they own an Ovation as well, so this does not count for as much.

Location: Paris/France | Thank you all for your kind words.
I've put the names on the picture below but unfortunately Tom is not on the pics.
He's usually very busy during the week end because he's one of the member of the staff whom organize that great event.
I'm sure that you can imagine what for a work it is to satisfy more than 50 guitarists for 2 days...
Steve, there's more pics of the Adamas "Lavanderburst" ON THIS PAGE.
It's a wide neck and the color is very nice to my eyes.
Joel who was the first owner of this model loves the special colors and his next Adamas model to come will be more "colored"!!! ;)
The O's are not as popular now as 20 years ago but we still some fans to continue to believe in the Kaman's family genius and we're sure to be right even if most of the others only wants a new Taylor...

Location: Paris/France | Yes Bill, Byron was there but not on the 3rd picture.
He's in the middle of the group on the 4th.
He's better every year and I'm sure thet he will be a great guitar player in the future.
He was kind enough to write a song for me and to dedicated it to me when he was on stage during the evening.
Here's a pics of him with my Custom Order in hands.
I'm still have 4 copies of his first CD made when he was only 15 and I'd be glad to send one for free to the 4 first people who wants one.

| Jerome, If you don't mind my asking.... what is the guitar that Remy is holding? And it is good to see these great guitars still have a core group from all over the world who understand their amazing qualities. |

Location: Paris/France | Rémy's guitar is a Custom Order.
It's a very special one with a wide neck and double epaulets like on Marcel Dadi's guitars.
There's some goods pictures and specs ON THIS PAGE.

Location: Cicero, NY | And, for anyone interested, Byron is a hugely talented young player who's fingerstyle playing on his disc, at 15! as Jerome pointed out, is very good. If you'd like to hear some great playing, grab a disc from Jerome. It's really great stuff. |

| Have never seen that color on a guitar. Interesting! I love the uniqueness but not sure if I could chose that over those great reverse colors we are all used to. I have just ordered two custom adamas's one as a baritone with a slightly wider neck in the Red and the other is a 1587-7 in the original #7 color. Just could not go for any crazy custom colors. Did not have the courage. Wish I had noticed those double full size epaulets before, I do like the look. Might have gone that way.
Nice group you got there! Hows the cover working out? did it end up to high for the slothead stringing set up ? |
