I own the prototype Oasis-serial #018. My instrument was hand built by Gary Cooper in Sacramento CA in 1975. I got to choose the woods-flame koa bookend matched body,maple,holly, and vermillian neck. Mine has triple white/black/white binding, hand made tailpiece,gold hardware. This insrtument was presented to me in November of 1975 and was displayed at the 1976 NAMM show in LA. I still own this guitar. I would be happy to hear from other Oasis owners.
