As soon as they announce a Roadtrip model I suspect I'll have to get one for the wife.

I suspect that AZ speaks for a number of people.

I have been on the road for a month with OF660 and still have a few more weeks before getting back home to play Cordoba cadet I paid $200 blemished a few months ago. While I couldn't be happier with OO660, I do miss nylon strings and am not sure if I could wait long enough to hear what forum members think of it before committing. After all it does overlap in many ways what OF660 provides for the most part.
Regardless, I am curious why OC660 and their wood version seem to have their saddle closer to the rear than OF660. Would it be purely to accommodate a longer string length despite what appears to be not the optimal sweet spot? I would love to know more about their thought process on the their design including the sound hole. Any speculations or inside infos? |

They told me at NAMM that they did a lot of experimenting with everything including the sound hole...they are very happy with it.

I am very impressed with my ability to restrain myself at this point......
As far as the crossover OF..... my hybrid phase has matured with the custom 000C-Nylon based all magogganie Martin I had built.... Or I'd be out (another) $1300...... phew.

Oscar;
I can't believe you're hanging on that relic of the past. What a burden; controlling temperature and humidity, afraid to move it from it's home base, constantly changing. Must be sentiment (or sediment). |

Congrats! So did you get one of the 20 "reserve" guitars or do you get the impression they are going into full production based on initial response? i look forward to your thoughts once you have it

It's a year old and I paid quite a bit of money to have it made... (before I was enlightened). Therefore I love it. Actually, I really like playing it and it sounds incredibly nice. The maggogany is, I think, more stable than spruce and I don't baby it. Short of leaving it in a hot car it has to run with the fibers in the herd. If it falls apart I'll make a picture frame out of it.
