Play a Journey Instruments OF660.
I was prepared not to like it over the OF420, which is made of wood.
I even went in with my mind made up...mostly based on the price.
I honestly liked the sound and playability of the 660 better.
Then a friend who is also a guitar dealer, and a very good player in his own right said he liked the 660.
When I fell into a small pile of money, I bought the 660 at my wife’s direction.
She has to deal with me when we travel and I bring a guitar.
She was all for the instrument that could withstand riding in the car, waiting in the hot car while we eat on the road.
Oh, I still take it into the hotel. But I’m so much more at ease.
Also, the 660 also sounds really good.
Not really good for what it is, but really good.
And currently with the house humidifier set at 45% to maintain about 25% in the house, my Journey is the only guitar out on the stand, ready to play.
Also, my work day often goes from 0430-1830 or later.
We have rehearsal on Thursday evenings at 1900 I can take the OF660 to work, and go right to rehearsal.
I can store it under the desk and it’s out of the way for the day.
