Thread Name: another mangled instrument
Subject: RE: another mangled instrument
Yeah, amazing, eh? Jed Marum and I both road-tested the prototypes and back then we always thought you had to loosen the strings to fold it back up.

When I was visiting with Harvey last summer, he said that Thom Bresh unfolded a V-A without loosening the strings and everyone watching was waiting for the guitar to explode when he unfolded it and tightened the bolt. Harve said everyone was totally blown away when it was in tune!

Unless I sell it, I'll have the OM-4 with me when I am in the UK in Feb-March. Who knows? I may even make it to Sussex. No gigs, but I'd love to see Ian C again, meet you, Will and see a friend in Worthing.
