What if OFC created in the reference section a space for users to "Review" Ovation by model they have owned and used? Something akin to the reviews found at Harmony Central.
More "Gas" attacks than bean burritos but also a truely useful source of information. |

Location: SoCal | The only problem with this would be that everybody here has guitars that they absolutely love. More helpful would be a section regarding Ovations that "sucked" for one reason or another.
For example, I've had a Legend that's now about 26 years old. It's bass response could be described (charitably) as "plastiky". Just not a good guitar. Then strung it Nashville and it found it's voice.
So I guess it should be, what Ovation sucked, could it be redeemed, and what did you do with it? |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I like the the idea of a page Titled "Why this Ovation Sucks" ... But I also want to know which guitars "You'll have to pry from my Cold Dead Hands" (That'd be refered to as a "CDH") |

Location: Phoenix AZ | How difficult it would be to pry a guitar from my CDH would depend on how much cash was in YOUR hand. Everything has it's price.
Related question was once asked - if the house was burning down and you could save EITHER your one favorite guitar OR your wedding photo album, which would it be ???
I'd save my one special guitar and then blame my wife for not grabbing the wedding photo album. |

I'm not suggesting that Al is like a Norman Bates, or anything . . .
. . . all's I know is that I've been to Al's house and the closest I got to meeting his wife is hearing some muffled whimpers coming up through the floorboards . . |

All's it takes is the right number of "left turns" before you're BACK "on course" again . . .

you have seen the wedding pics that are in the frames around the living room. You are a pro do they look photoshopped to you? In fact I think Jeanette commented on the photos.
Sue does it exist....dammit she does.
and my favorite guitars are easy to find, it is the ones that you need to ship yesterday that are difficult to locate |

I've never seen Al try to locate a favorite guitar in his house though...but I'd be REAL glad to help him look!

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | Back to the wedding album vs guitar thing. If my house was on fire, I would save my wife (most of the time), my cat, and my guitars. More than likely in that order. As far as wedding albums go, I've appeared in too many of them for my liking anyway, let it burn! :D |

I'm still suggesting that OFC create a "Model Review"
and I guess at this point I'm a material witness. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Cliff, do you mean the blue grass guy Norman Blake? I think he looks like his wife Nancy. There is a Sue and I've had lunch with them together and she doesn't look like Al.
It also is the wife's job to get the wedding album. It's spelled out in the agreement, page 7, paragraph 4, section 6(ii). |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | This is a tough one. Which wedding album to get that is... I have a few. I think Lisa and I would grab the animals, everything else is insured.
anecdote.... My last wife got annoyed with me when I put the "honeymoon" photos in the back of the wedding album. I thought it was smart to keep related topics together. Her mom was not amused appearently. |

Location: Tennessee | Two years ago we had a house fire. Smoke alarms started going off in the dead of night and I scrambled out of bed to find one wall and part of the roof in flames. My wife and I got the kids out of the house while talking with 911, and immediately turned to fighting the fire which we managed to knock down enough to keep in control until the fire department showed up. To be honest, I didn't even think about the guitars or any pictures until later. |

Location: SoCal | Actually, along with getting wife, kids, and dogs out of the house, I'd grab my business computer and all my files. It would take about a minute at most. Then I'd be working on the fire. Most of the guitars can be replaced. All of the above couldn't. |
