UPS was kind today !!!

Thanks again to Alpep and the mothership for such a fine tribute to the early slotheads. The 1 3/4" neck is a subtle but noticable difference from playing Moody's #3.

I present #9 for your viewing pleasure:

















The acoustic's in the empty house are simply awesome. It's nice to know the furniture (read: other guitars) will arrive sometime next week but for now, these two have the house all to themselves. The Tornado is visiting friends right now.

Lanaki,

Randy,
We wound up stopping just outside Nashville on Thursday and pushed through to Durham on Friday night. We finally made it into Virginia on Saturday afternoon.
There's always next year or you can swing up and enjoy the pool next time you're in NC.

Absolutely stunning Tim.

Best pics I've seen of the OFC guitar to date. They did a great job, it really looks like an original.

....can you here any noticable tonal difference to the #47RI?

Beautiful Tim!

At first I thought that you had to sell all the furniture but then I remembered... the Govm't hired the low bidder to move it!

Enjoy the acoustics of the house as long as it lasts!

Congrats, what a wonderful couple! But I'm not sure if the T-shirt and guitar's colors match.

Yep, best pics of the OFC for now!
Thanks for that, and Congrats, Tim!

Don't worry about the colour of the shirt. Only baby pink will perfectly match baby blue. ;)

By the way, please don't forget - to all OFC owners - to post a picture of the carbon case, as soon as they have arrived.

Thanks, Kurt

Way to go Tim.
Great pics. Keep in mind that we'll be looking for calendar pics soon.
What's the difference in sound that comes out of 'em??

Wow - great pictures. The OFC makes a nice addition to your collection!

If you have a guitar strap you won't need furniture!

Let's also remember that he got a stand with the guitar. I think, furniture wise, he's pretty well covered.

Sound....hum....very subjective, but the other half says the OFC has more of a boomy bass. I think it could just be the difference in the strings. I have EXP16's on the 47 and they definately have a different sound from the 1717's.

I know that for me, the extra width allows me to hit the chords cleaner with my big fingers and not get some much accidental muting.

Guitar rich, furniture poor...I like that :)
