Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Koala No. 5 is now secure and on display in the Professor's bandroom (thanks, Al, for making this happen):
And here's another new additon, a Hurricane 12-string, although this baby has been around since 1968 as suggested by its A-233 serial number.

Seeing as you have just received the OFC guitar, has the KOALA become a lost child?
I'm curious about your impressions of this guitar.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | gh1, excellent question. The Koala is a stunning looker. It is probably the best looking guitar I own, and it hasn't been forgotten due to the OFC guitar. This has been a good year and I've been blessed with some nice additions to the bandroom. I play about 8 to 10 hours a week, 4 to 6 outside the bandroom. The guitars I actually perform with are primarily the Tak EF75, the EA-68 Viper, and occasionally the 1581. I have taken the Koala to rehearsal several times, and plan to do the same with the OFC guitar. In time, I may use either of them in place of the Tak in performance, but need some hours on them first. Whatever I actually take to performance depends primarily upon the songs selected for that week. If they're bluesy and jazzy, I take the EA-68. If they want arpeggio picking, I take the Tak. If the leads are high up on the fretboard, I take something with a cutout. I use anything and everything while practicing in the bandroom. The guitar that seems to be getting lost in all this is the 1651 Legend Limited that I bought new in '81 and used exclusively for the next 20 years. I love that guitar and it is what brought me to this forum, but it hasn't seen daylight in three years. |

Location: PDX | So many great guitars -- so little time. Still, not a bad position to be in!
Thanks for the update.
