No, OB-1 & OB-2 were sectionals fuzed together. The one they introduced after was a solid shaft. I forget whether it was called "Classic," or "Pro."
OB cues shut down?

Must be the classic, I have a pro+ and it was pieced together and the ob-2+ was as well and both have the same 11.75 at ferrule but the pro+ has the short white ferrule
My understanding: originally OB wood shafts were made with six parts that were each laminated. When all were put together in finished form, you would see many lines, some were laminations, some from the six sections. The "+" version used 6 solid maple pieces instead of laminated. You would only see six lines in a finished shaft.
In both generations, they made a 12.75 and an 11.75, in both a short white ferrule (classic or pro) and that swirly wood ferrule (ob1 or ob2).
The photo shows the laminated style but you can see the six crescent sections.

This was done to minimize internal stress.
Consistent wood supply became a problem near the end.
Classic and pro had sectionals fuzed but had the white ferrule.Then came the + series,same white ferulle and more like a tiger shaft (solid sections). After that it was a rez not a revo (which is made by pred)
