I just got a very warm, fuzzy feeling inside. I think it's time to light a Cuban Montecristo #2 and celebrate.

Thanks for great job, Al. Now about that hooker I'm sending over later....I forgot to get a hair color preference from you. ;)

Between Roy Orbison's quote on kissing ass and Bill's on working hard, I've learned more from this thread than almost any other ("All I Know About Life I've Learned From The OFC"?).

Al, you're not going to have any trouble moving 12 of these guitars.....

Wow!

What a beauty! Looks just like the originals and I bet it sounds better.

Al, great job!

It's actually lighter than the picture, according to Al, because the pic was taken indoors on a dark and stormy night.

This OFC guitar is fantastic!!!!
Unfortunately, even if I'll be so happy to have one, I can't afford it and I sincerely regret it... :(
It will stay in O's legend as a pure master piece.

Thanks Al.

Might just be one of the leaf patterns.

I assume the 12th fret is where the OFC logo would ultimately go.

Pretty certain that everything down to the 15th fret is just a leaf pattern. It says Ovation on the 16th fret then everything else is a leaf pattern again.

Dear Jerome,
I guess you will be the owner one of this model some day . Fortunately, fortunately and fortunately. My lucky man!

It's a series of viney/leafy, carved, gold-filled glyphs up the 16th and then it says "Ovation" the leaf carving is doubled at the 12th (I would assume, to signify the octave fret?)

Ahhh. Is that what you have on your original slothead? Man these guitars are just the "living limit" My mothers nickname for me!

Yes, although I am waiting for some of the usual suspects who asked me to hold guitars to check in.

axe jacket is a cover so that if you wish to display your guitar on a stand you can put the cover over it and keep dust off the guitar.

the access bag is a really cool roadie bag that has what seems like endless pockets so that you can store all types of gadgets strings mics cables etc.
