I doubt that will be a problem to arrange.

I think the sustain on these is one of their most impressive attributes. Yes, it's long - in the way that a Sobell is long - but there's a beautifully delicate shimmer that is really appealing. Very powerful guitar for an OM as well (albeit it's bigger than a "real" OM).

How do you feel about all of that waiting now?

Also, you do know that if it's better than mine I am going to be really angry, don't you?

Cheers,
Steve

Steve & I are indeed friends & Im sure that one of us will report back when we have done a back to back comparison. Don't hold your breath though - we are both busy people & we live about 70 miles from each other.

In the meantime here's another gratuitous shot.......

Hi Vic,

Lovely guitar! Congratulations on a real beauty. I'm glad to see that Jason has recovered enough from his auto accident that he is able to produce a guitar like this now. Good for Jason.

Hi Glenn
Thank you.
I feel privaliged to be in a position to be able to have such a guitar. Jason was about to start my OM when he had that accident which almost finished his career. We are very fortunate to have him with us.
Cheers
Vic

ohhhh, I do like an airy bottom-end missus!

Cheers,
Steve
