I wonder if a Forum member ended up snagging this guitar, does anyone here know?

Congrats to the new owner! Enjoy it - the 29 owners are raving about this little guitar with an amazing tone & volume.

I am the happy new owner.  It only arrived earlier this afternoon so I'm just getting acquainted, but so far I am extremely pleased!  Very pleasant buying from Appleknocker.  One day delivery!  Only had to come across the top of Arkansas, but I still wasn't expecting it for another day or two.

It always takes me a couple weeks to be sure if I'm going to take to a guitar.  I've owned quite a few guitars over the years and many have been 00 or grand concert size, so I have some idea what I'm getting into.  After a little playing I'll post my impressions.  I also have a Santa Cruz hog top 00.  The plan is to keep one and send the other with my daughter.  Report to follow.

congrats norton. looking forward to your impressions about #15. i must confess i tried getting to this, but you beat me to it.

danny, you may have answered this in another thread or your previous post(s), but how does the FIV compare with FIII specifically,

does the FIV take moderate to aggressive strumming well? When I had my OO-09, I did hear a bit of the "boxy" parlor sound, Jeff (bluesman1) tells me
to forget the parlor sound when it comes to the FIV.

how does it compare with your OO-09FM esp strumming?

I rarely use a pick anymore. But I was playing some spiritual songs with a fairly large group recently and I took the lead on a song that I considered should be played aggressively and lively. I was surprised at it. It's not as good at strumming as my F-III but it held up very well.   
        I prefer it for the "sweet" mellow tones it produces in small living rooms and out on the porch. But I would use it to lead singing in a small group. My playing is 90% finger style now though. But I have other guitars that do great at strumming. People keep dropping them off for me to take care of for a while. I have three dread sized ones like that and now a Gibson J-25.

    Truth is though even my F-III and the OM-21 are not seeing much play time now. I just like the sound from this little F-IV too much.
