I'm interested to know if anyone else here has a Brunner OG, because I've never come across another owner, and I'm sure there must be one or two.
For those who haven't met them, the OG is a travel guitar made by Luke Brunner in Switzerland. Wonderful little instruments - the neck detaches, and it packs down into an impossible tiny case. Mine came to the US, India and China on work trips with me during my traveling days, but hasn't seen much use in the past three years or so.

I'm fairly sure Akquarius has one. I think he brought it to Halifax once. I was amazed at how well it all fit together and sounded better than just decent.

I own a Brunner OG Basic. I've had it for 15 years, maybe longer. I still use it when I'm on longer biz trips. To make it more comfy I usually play it with a neck-up guitar support. edit: I just checked: pics are still in the gallery section: Akquarius' Brunner OG Basic

I'm fairly sure Akquarius has one. I think he brought it to Halifax once. I was amazed at how well it all fit together and sounded better than just decent. They are pretty amazing, both in build quality and sound. The standard-width neck is comfortable, and using medium strings with the short scale means you can keep concert pitch, and a built-in pickup means it works really well when plugged in. He also has some fanciness in the bracing department, with at least one of the top braces (the one I can see) only touching the top at one point. I'll see if I can sort out some pictures.
I've had to assemble it several times in airports to prove it's a real instrument, and it usually causes amusement when going through the x-ray machine.
