Location: Up North | Cliff, I didn't catch reference to it in any of the tour posts, but did they get a chance to hook up your #54 to the laser vibrometer for a readout? |

The problem, as I see it, with a guitar that has a colour scheme is...you have to dress TOO the instrument.
Really! Jason.
"Blue and green should not be seen!"
Do Tup & I have to teach you all how to dress? Don't your wives (Or partners) teach you these things?
I mean, REAlly!  |

No.
It was the Tequila. :rolleyes:
I got up too late(er) on Fri. morning, and missed Al t'hand it off to him and get it to the Factory early.
Darren was nice enough t'say that I could bring it up ANYtime (like when I come up t'visit w/Beal) and he'd do it for me, or I could just wait 'til NextYear . . . |

Location: SoCal | Jason, the pic is great, but you look way too comfortable with that guitar! Don't pull it down, don't change it. It's going in my collection of pics of that guitar.
One of the things that I really enjoyed in CT was letting everybody who wanted to, play that guitar. If Clifford could pass around #54 which is worth more than twice my OFC slothead, then letting everybody play my guitar was the least I could do. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Cool pic Jason...BTW, I enjoyed meeting you and glad you were able to make it after all the problems...You hit the nail on the head...where else could a guitarist go for several days and end up playing just about every fantasy Ovation/Adamas one could dream of (for me: #47, Woz's Adamas 12; OFC/Lost Art Koa; etc...) I would love to have played Paul's OFC Slothead and maybe Cliff would have let me play #54, but I was too new to know the details...but perhaps down the road...Still, what a trip it was....IF ANYONE IS SITTING ON THE FENCE ABOUT COMING TO THE TOUR, WHY? It is such a special time and I can't thank Al and Miles (and the usual suspects) for doing this for us!
Blessings... |

Mike;
Next time, just "ask".
That's why I BRING it there.
I saw it getting passed around the lobby on Thurs. nite, and I'd assumed it had made it's way t'you . . . sorry 'bout that.

Instead of me recounting all the sordid details (yet again), do a Search for "October Calendar Page" . . . |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Also, a huge thanks to Cliff (and to Moody, Tupp and others) who were so willing to allow their guitars to be passed around the lobby and handled by dozens of folks. Cliff's guitar is irreplaceable, and yet it was given no obvious deference over any of the others. Nonetheless, when it was my turn, I felt very honored to play it. I think that makes six original slotheads I've now had the good fortune to play. |

Moody's OFC slothead Adamas
