Title: My Northwood R80-OO
Post by: jshowyin on March 10, 2010, 06:02:12 PM

Hello Everyone,

Well I took some pics of my Northwood R80-OO (Eng/EIR, 1 13/16", 24.5" short scale, 12 fret OO) because I have been considering putting her up for sale. Never thought I'd sell her because she sounds so sweet and is so nice to look at, but the FIII gets the vast majority of my playing time.

Still can't make up my mind about letting her go, but, With all the recent interest in OOs, the FIV and requests from forum members in the past to see her, I thought I'd share some of the pics.

Enjoy, Jared

That is a really sweet guitar! I'd love to know more about it - what is the spacing at the bridge, and what is the body depth? How do they shape the neck?

I may have to drive down there and give it a try, Jared! :nice guitar:

I find Northwoods especially nice to look at, not having ever played one. :beer
