OK Strum

[Kazz]

I think Strum is going through a phase where he is enjoying torturing us....its our annual paying of dues to keep him around another year.

It's not a phase, I enjoy it 24/7.

Yes & No = Olympia by Tacoma.

It's the water . . . and a lot more. Make sure it isn't infested by artesians!

NO and NO, but yes sorta.


Tacoma is partially right.

ok, I certainly am not going to top EK's new toy, but here is what's coming.

It's a Orpheum OD19SWM made by Tacoma

I'm excited about getting it, so I will have that acoustic sound available to me again and a guitar to grab without having to plug in and power up.

Solid Mahogany sides and back, solid Spruce top.

A simple well made guitar, very plain, and fits exactly what I was looking for.

 

[Rocket]

Would that be this one?

 

[just strum]

Don't know what that one is, I know it's this one

So what is that one?

 

[Katastrophe]

Beautiful guitar, Strum. You are now redeemed and have "Good Guy" status again.

 

[peachhead]

That looks mighty fine. I've never heard of Orpheum- did you play one locally or how did you know about it?

nice looking guitar strum...but the jury is still out on the "good guy" status! oke: :beer:

I had not played one or even heard of it. It was offered at a good price. I did a little digging and liked what I read. Then a fellow fretter did some checking for me and I liked what he found.

I wanted a decent guitar that didn't break the bank or put too big a dent in the cash for some other things - this was it.

It's a probationary title, subject to recall at any time...

 

[street music]

Strum, nice acoustic, I'm not familiar with that one but it looks nice.

i thought orpheum was one of the girls prince dated and put in his movies and videos! :whatever: :thwap: :rotflmao:

[spt]

SPT, what do you think?

Sorry Strum, just saw your post now...

Would that be this one?

Sharp eye you've got...
That green background reminds me of a vintage Daion too.

Hey Strummy,
Nice looking new guitar. All solid woods. I'll bet she sounds terrific. Nicely done.

 

[tjcurtin1]

Looks nice, Strum! It just wasn't right that you had no acoustic! I would have guessed Tacoma and then Olympia, too, after seeing the distinctive bridge. Whilst hunting my Tacoma, I never came across the Orpheum line (there's a great small-theater music venue in Boston by that name). Is it new, as in current production? Wondering if it represents Fender's new move for Tacoma?

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Nice strum! Congrats!

While Olympia was Tacoma's primary Asian-made clone brand, Orpheum was another, not as 'broad' a line and barely marketed (like the rest of Tacoma) Indonesian-made, a good bang for the buck.

As for Fender's next/new move for Tacoma? They ain't sayin' much, but my 2 cents guess is that whatever they do, they'll be imports. Unless they just kill the brand. They've got Takamine and Ovation and their sub-brands now that they bought Kaman, and they're making Guilds (or trying to) in the Ovation plant since scuttling the Tacoma factory.

The Orpheum arrived today and I immediately realized how much the electric masked my crappy playing ability.

No pics, already posted enough.

Nice guitar and serves its purpose.

Thanks SPT, arrived in time for the weekend.

 

[evenkeel]

Hey Mr. Strum,
Now that you have had time to bond with the new guitar what's the report? Any surprises? Glad to have an acoustic back in the herd?

 

[luvmyshiner]

Good point Keel, it's about time for a report. Come on Strummy, you know you missed having an acoustic. Does she sound as good as she looks?
