| Maybe I missed it in earlier discussions, but who is the O'Connor individual who signed the guitar in 89? |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | That is correct: he had a workshop on his yacht...Ovation delivered the guitars to him there and he did the graphic's there...from what I could gather, he's living out west somewhere now....
This guitar sounds so great...the graphic's may not be your cup of tea, but the T-Bolt is a great gigging guitar.... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | No question about it - the snakeskin finish on this guitar is executed very, very well. Weather you like the motif or not is just personal preference (one man's ugly is another man's wife). And as usual the photos are among the best quality I've ever seen. I need to make a "damongallery.com" ...
As I recall hearing this guitar at one of the tours it sounded nice.
Congratulations Damon. |

Location: Jet City | Thanks for the comments all. I'm already kinda known at open mic as the guy who brings a different guitar every week. Wait thill they get a load on this one!
I think for this one instance, the headstock works. It would have looked funny with the traditional one I think. I'll bet someone else thought the same thing and thats why it was changed.
As for the paint job, I just think CWK2 needed something to match his boots
Must've been after "the cadillac" phase :D
I'll have video of it up here in a few. |

Should be there tomorrow! |
