Location: Converse, Texas | Just went to my local Sam Ash and played a "new" Collectors 2003 model. Played VERY nicely. Started jamming with a guy who was playing a Taylor. Needless to say, he liked the sound of the O and started playing it as well.
Anyway, back to the 2003. Very intersting look. Played very well in spite of me being the one playing it. It has the 5-piece recessed epaulets. Very nice. Interesting color to the sitka spruce as well.
Anyone out there own one of these? The only additions I would make would be to have both XLR and 1/4-inch outputs and changes the preamp to the Optima or Op Pro. |

Location: Boise Idaho | I purchased mine from MF earlier this year. It's an FRG but to this day I can't find any blems or issues with it. Is without a doubt one of my favorite Os. Absolutely love the laser cut inlays... Wonder if we'll see any Adamas with the same inlays someday... |

Nope!
The inlay is .050" thick and the Adamas top is .033" thick or so. |
