I purchased an OF660 from Ted also, and found that I just didn't get on well with it. I am about 95% a finger-picker, and just couldn't coax the tone out of it I was looking for. I've seen others finger-pick them and sound quite good, but it just didn't work for me. It did sound good when strummed or flat-picked.

I ended up trading mine back to Ted for the Journey OF420, which is Solid Sitka Spruce over Pau Ferro Back and Sides. Like the OF660, it breaks down into the backpack case. I have not had issues putting it together, and the tone works well with my style. It's also a bonus that it comes with a factory installed pickup.

For my niece's wedding, I shipped a nice guitar in a shipping case, and then flew there with the Journey as my second guitar for alternate tuning. The primary guitar got lost in shipment, and the Journey ended up being my only rig. With amplification (which I would have used with either guitar), it saved the day, and I got lots of compliments on the tone.

Hope that helps,
Gary
