The latest upgrade on the OPC follows a succession on world class reviews in 2012 which saw Expert Reviews.com give it a 5 star review, Guitar World awarding the OPC their coveted Gold Award, CNET.com presenting it their editors choice and Stuff magazine describing the OPC as an ace-sounding all-in-one studio crammed into a '70s rock icon'!
Honors were handed out by Brian Williams, anchor of the NBC broadcast network's Nightly News. (Minami, who has Korean heritage, wowed the crowd with traditional ethnic finery.) Against the best competition in the U.S., FORBES has won or been runner-up in this OPC category in four of the last six years.
