An interesting transition period in Jorma's journeys. He's recently left San Francisco, broken up his band, is touring solo, is looking to buy a farm somewhere back East, isn't talking to Jack, and plans to play guitar until he drops. Well, some things never change.
A worthy 18 minute video that some kids put together as a college project that got stashed away for years until someone pulled out the old Beta tape and worked on it a little.

I recall him still playing
I recall him still playing the Ovation around 85-86. Nowhere to be seen these days. A cool part of his ongoing weekly concert series has been him bringing out lots of his guitars and talking about them.
As wired as he appears in this interview, he is still very focused on his guitar, restringing it throughout. It was a way to stay centered in the midst of a lot of changes. His attitude in this video contrasts with the calmer demeanor he currently projects, but his guitars have always stayed in his focus.

I think his move to the
I think his move to the Ovation guitars coincided with his period of playing an "acoustic" guitar through a lot of outboard devices (as he states in this interview), they tend to do well in that respect as the tone of the guitar itself isn't as important iof you're going to modify it anyway.
My mom had a 1969 280SL, it was my grandmothers (she traded in a 190SL for it) and when she died my grandfather sold it to her for $1. Absolutely beautiful car and you can still pick them up at a reasonable price.
