Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | For all you stateside OFC Guitar owners out there, the custom carbon case has arrived! What a gorgeous product. It comes complete with its own draw-strung nylon slip cover. It is a work of art all by itself. The black velvet inside is particularly nice against the carbon fiber exterior, and its lightweight is noticeable. This beauty is well worth the weight. I think I need a case for this case. No, on second thought, I need to figure out a way to display this baby in the bandroom all by itself. I wonder if anybody makes a ceiling hanger for guitar cases? Thanks to Al for getting this done. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Sure feels lighter without the benefit of having one of the old or new cases readily available to compare it against. Maybe it just looks lighter. I'll bet one in titanium would really be light. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Since Boise is only a few days' dog sled ride from Colorado (if Slipkid is in charge of the mail) I hope to see mine soon. I was thinking the same thing about displaying it. It would be a shame to put it in the closet with the rest of the cases.
On the other hand, my axe jacket is currently out in the garage airing out, since someone let one of the cats downstairs again over the holidays. Apparently I didn't get all the cat piss smell out the last time. I'd hate to have a cat ruin this case if I left it out for display. Only a couple more weeks and we'll be back down to one cat from 4. |

Location: Cicero, NY | I think he is. I was just thinking that he could put the cat on the shelf next to the AxJacket and leave that there for years too.
I'm thinking of Mark here...just trying to help a brudda out. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Thanks again for the offer, Cliff, but I haven't used the axe jacket that I have, either. I prefer the advice about getting rid of the cats. I've never found a use for them, either. The axe jacket is useful because it gives me another reason to cuss out the cats. Soon the 3 that are boarding with us will be gone and our old cat won't last much longer. Waskel tried to sit on him when he was here, but didn't do a very good job. You would think that being sat on a bunch of times would teach him to get off the chairs, but cats are hard to teach. |

Looking forward to getting the case! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Cats train humans because humans aren't as stubborn. They can't be stupid. They know how to go in the cat box, or any other box for that matter, and they can tell time, as long as it's meal time. Ours somehow knows what chair I'm going to sit in next. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Back on track. Came home today to an Ovation box. SWMBO knew the case was coming, so she didn't pitch a fit.
Beautiful piece of craftsmanship. As she said, "You need a nice case for that guitar." She also warned me not to leave it out where the cats could get to it. Almost too pretty to take out. Thanks again, Al. |

Location: SoCal | My wife came upstairs and said I had a big box, EXCITED that I had gotten another guitar!!
We may be running out of room for more guitars but she's never set a limit. She's even offered to allow me to hang more in the master bedroom and her design room.
Don't think I'll go that far. She does have her Koa parlor and Koa uke in her room.
Very unique and beautiful case...maybe more of a collectible than the guitar. My wife thought I need more of the carbon cases for my other guitars.
By the way, first box delivered by UPS that was unmarked, not soiled at all. Amazing. |
