Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Are there any photographs to show the choices for the OFC guitar yet? I see that the choices are the Black 12 fret Slothead model U681-5 for $2669.00 and the Adamas II model 1581 II for $2999.00. Are these correct? I couldn't find anything on the web site but then I guess these may not go up on the site if they are a special production. Thanks for any further information on these guitars. |

Location: boulder | Hey now,
I believe Al told me the OFC guitar would be based on the reissue #47 model except with electronics and in the color blue. I would love to see it in cream/beige but that's just me.(Heck I would pay extra for a color choice.)
I would even pay extra to have my OFC member # somehow laser etched or inlaid into neck or bridge or headstock, but again that is just me. But after the first four thousand, what is a couple of hundred more? Have to go make some money to pay Al now, peace hope this helps, mike |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | I saw the #47 post a couple weeks ago as well but the latest post "black 12 fret" threw me back into the confuzed state. I must admit it's not very far to the confuzed state for me... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | The black 12-fret w/ OP-Pro is supposed to be available in Q1. list $2699. The OFC guitar is supposed to be the same as the 47-RI except that it will be A/E and possibly blue instead of red. Supposed to be delivered some time around Q4. No list price that I know of yet. |

I really like the looks of the red burst on #47.

I had the same idea of having the OFC member # instead of the serial number on the OFC guitar. But Al didn't think a lot of people would go for it. Anybody else? |

Location: SoCal | Michael, problem with that is the low number of OFC guitars that will actually be made (12-18?).
Would look a little strange to have #1654 of 12. Course, to cover all bases, bought the "rights" to #7.
Ordered the 12-fret Adamas from Al today. |

Location: boulder | Hey Tony,
Well really, I wasn't thinking of my member # for the serial #, just as a inlay or etching somewhere on the guitar.
But , I just hope Mr Pepiak lets me get on the list for the slothead :) (You noticed the "Mr." right??)Al, does this help me get on the list too? peace to all, mike |

What do you mean you ordered the 12 fret Adamas from Al today......did you suddenly come into a wad of cash :D .
I ordered one of those babies also the first week Al offered them...requested #6 which is my lucky number :cool: .
Now....where is that damn mailman with my packages!

If you are ever up in boulder area, Maybe we could get together and you could give me an opinion of a guitar of mine. It's a new acquisition of mine and I am still forming opiions about it. Next summer it will travel with me to Connecticut though,
anyway peace mike |

N-a-a-a-h-h-h!
While you are thinking "7" don't forget to hope for some "12"'s" as well! (Al is really going to think we are impossible now). |
