NGD Journey OF-660, the journey guys are great

[kurth83]

Two weeks late, but I never did the NGD post, so here it is.

Black, gloss, no pics, here is one from Elderly though:



Things of note (that haven't been mentioned elsewhere):
- it fits snugly in a 3/4 size gig bag.
- it has a nice K&K mini knockoff inside, and sounds like it, the online videos of it don't do the pickup justice, they make it sound like the string balance is off with no bass. Mine is not that way, too much bass if anything, kind of thumpy, maybe Martin fans will like that.
- I really like it's acoustic sound, surprisingly dark, bassy, and full, not what you expect from a small-body.

It is in the shop for a setup and refret for taller frets (I like jumbos), will get it back next week.

Somehow after recent downsizing it has become my only acoustic guitar (unless you count the T5z). So while the K&K mini sound is decent, I am thinking a Trance Amulet M might make things better, but it isn't that expensive of a guitar, so I am on the fence about that, interested if anyone has any advice there.

I want to mention that the guys at Journey are fantastic. I have sent them email with questions and gotten a response back within hours, even at strange times and on weekends.

My luthier who is doing the work had the same experience, he called them to ask if there was anything special he should know about refretting their CF neck, and they got back to him immediately and had one of their builders talk to him.

Congrats. These Journey guitars are nice. Enjoy.

Thanks for this - itʻs a very pretty guitar and I have been itching towards CF.
There are days when even the internet is too close to Elderly all that temptation...

I have the exact same guitar and am most pleased with it in every way.
