If you prefer wood, here's a review of our OF420 from Maneli Jamal.

Happy Holidays all!

Fixed the video link.

However, the video edit uploaded has no motion or sound after 6:30, so the demonstration of the bag is missing. If this is yours, you should reupload.

Also... when you posted your video link, it included extraneous sections beyond just the video identifier, like "&youtu.be". That could be an artifact of how the forum generated the embed from what you gave it, but I suggest always checking to see if a video embedding was successful, just in case.

All that to the side, I've been considering the Journey OF660 for a bit, and this video makes a good case for getting one for times i would otherwise be taking one of my Rainsongs with me. Thanks for posting it!

Got to spend a couple of days with Don this fall and he is not only a great player but also a great guy. He certainly makes this Journey guitar sound quite wonderful. Would be fun to try one out.

Just updated the post with a new video upload.

Cool video.

Okay, so I watched the video, looked over the website, but couldn't find any prices listed anywhere. What's the suggested retail price on a guitar like the one Don Ross demonstrated?

Hi Wade, we only post prices at dealers. MSRP is around $1400, MAP (street price) is $1099 for black, and $1149 for colored tops. Let me know where you are via PM and I can recommend a nearby dealer. Play one, you'll love it.

When I saw the title of this thread this came to mind.

hahhaa - guess I should have used the word "collapsible". Probably should edit that too.

Yea, there's a pretty slim market for "collapsing" guitars. But, hey, whatever floats your boat!

I have seen some Esteban guitars in the process of collapsing inwards.

$1,100+ isn't bad, I want one. :-)

I am kind of in a smaller body short-scale phase now too, and am a fan of CF.

I live in San Jose CA. Would love to play one.

Thanks, Rob, but that won't be necessary. I already checked your dealers, and Matanuska Music in Wasilla, Alaska is closest. I do get up there from time to time. The next time I do I'll make it a point to swing by the music store.

Interesting ... I was wondering how come no one picked up on the Voyage-Air break-down style in a carbon fiber. This might be a hot item.
