There have been some repeat posters with the Flag guitars on eBay. Right person, right time, big wallet. I would think just getting the price to $1000 would be all it would take. |

I imagine that a lot of people will take it that the owner/player is a conservative and right-wing, whether that would be true or not. Some people don't want that attention.
Both points have to be satisfied to sell the guitar. But, yes, it is a pretty guitar.

I'm waiting for the rosette to arrive, and designing the cradle to do the crack repairs in the top. It's being very patient so far. However, your suggestion of Blue Thunder is in the running. I think it will have to earn that moniker, though. That will not be possible 'til all the repairs are made, and it goes to Flight Test.
In the meantime, I keep staring at my critters, wondering if they need to be sent out into the world, to accomodate an '05 Collector's. Boy, I'm glad they can't read.......... |

But I have no intention of selling it either. Over time I think you will find them going for more but again the market does not follow a logical pattern either. It sounds and looks great and I have been complimented on what a cool looking and great sounding guitar it is! No negative feedback.

Just think, if people viewed the first Viet Nam the way they view this one, we'd STILL be losing to China in Southeast Asia.
Chew on that for awhile.
Merry Christmas. Deepest condolences go out to those that have lost loved ones in Bush's war, and to those yet to come.
All the flag guitars should be sent gratis to the troops, who've EARNED them.

I don't think you want to inject politics on the board. The opinions here are diverse, but the agreement seems to be, let's keep the politics out.
Unless you really want to have a serious discussion on it..... Why don't you chew on the fact that a million people were slaughtered by their own communist government after the U.S. pulled out. Oh, that's right. They weren't Americans so who gives a rats ass about them.
But I suspect that Al's already rolling his eyes at this thread. |

Ovation's was in production before 9-11 so that may have something to do with the quality, but most just looked like a flag painted on a guitar. The Ovation "flag" is simply amazing. Almost 3-D looking that photo's do not really do it any justice. I believe many to be decals, this one is definately not. |

WE can only be responsible for the people OUR government kills, or the people killed by governments OUR government sets up and supports.
People killed by governments chosen by those people or not thrown off by those people are THEIR problem. Because when WE try to fix such problems, WE become not only THE problem, WE become THE problem that is much WORSE than the initial problem WE were trying to fix.
Not as convoluted as it sounds on first read, and a hard lesson from history that APPARENTLY HAS TO KEEP BEING LEARNED THE HARD WAY EVERY 40 YEARS. Because there's a TON of money in IGNORING IT.

It seems a good idea to resist discussion of politics and religion on this forum. There are many viewpoints, and we are not going to agree. It is better to "agree to disagree" without vitriolic language and go on. We all supposedly are here because we are interested in Ovation guitars. There are wonderful, highly knowledgable people here on that subject, we should all concentrate on that.
Of course there are bad things going on in the world everywhere. But we can't solve them on this forum, we have to do that as best we can in our daily lives; we vote for our choice for leader, we go (or not go) to the worship house of our choice, we give money to what we believe are worthy causes.
And somewhere in all of this, we play and talk about our Ovation guitars.

I liken the flag-legend to GM coming out with a corvette painted completly like an american flag. A few folks will buy them. But most people would not be interested. Doesn't make them anti-american at all. They just don't care for the looks.
If ovation was smart, they would extend the technique of the flag painting to other options. I think they would sell of ton of guitars painted like 1) Erhnhardts #3 nascar, 2) NY Yankee pinstripes, 3) Maryln Monroe, 4) Elvis, 5) World Trade Center, 6) Mickey Mouse and 7) Dogs Playing Poker. |

The guitar Ovation should do right now is a 1651 Legend Limited Edition John Lennon. Yoko is careful with what she does, but there is an Epiphone J160 and two Casino versions, along with a Rickenbacker. The 1651 is prominently featured on the most recent CD, and you'd think there would be a soft spot in her heart since much of Double Fantasy was either written on or recorded with the Legend.
I understand she does most of these things to perpetuate the legend, not for money.
I'd buy one. "Just Because". |

Short and sweet, and then I'm done. Promise. After all, it is Christmas.
Jesus didn't save the world by fighting, and He certainly didn't save the world by bombing women and babies "to free them."
He really didn't. He saved the world by loving His enemies.
You too have a Merry Christmas!

Jesus changed all that. Pure and simple, the perfect example.
If everyone loved their enemies, there would be peace in the world. But there's too much money to be made in promoting and doing the opposite, so I have to agree with your last statement. At least until it's remade.

My xmas wish is a big thank you to those who put their lives on the line so the rest of us can be free. There is no more honorable profession in my book. |

Vulcan phlosophy? Thanks, that's the heartiest laugh I've had all year, and the weirdest parallel anyone's ever made.
Look, Christians either follow the example Jesus Christ set Himself by His life and death or they aren't Christians. An example that was the personification of what HE said was the greatest commandment of all, "to love your enemies." PERIOD. Not to fight "for" them; not to bomb them to "free them"; not to "free them" to partake of their oil, not to "free them", period. Because to Christ what mattered was spiritual bondage, not earthly bondage. "Slaves obey your masters" and all that.
It really is THAT simple. And it has nothing to do with Ghandi, or Mr. Spock, except possibly that both of whom are closer to Christ than George Bush & Co. WILL EVER GET.
Look, my Dad fought in WWII. He also knew the truth and didn't consider himself a Christian because of it. My father GOT it.
You either follow Jesus to the cross or you don't, but don't you dare kill in His name, or worse yet, send others to their deaths killing FOR YOU in His name.
I CANNOT believe my very straitlaced LUTHERAN church was THAT weird in what they taught... I dunno, maybe they do take Martin Luther more seriously than other denominations. Or maybe I heard more sermons being in the worship band. And they thought I was sleeping!

I could spend a lot of time addressing his points, but this isn't the place and it wouldn't be likely to make a difference. Bad church history, bad theology, and bad eschatology make a bad mix. We love you, Les, and respect your right to your opinion. Let's agree to disagree without becoming more disagreeable and leave it at that.

One thing about our culture (or maybe just about us as human beings) is that we tend to see those who disagree with us as a threat. I see this all the time - daily - in business, in families, in the parking lot of a grocery store when I politely ask some dumbass to return the cart to its proper place so it doesn't ding anybody's car and then she yelled at me and started doing that funky side-to-side turkey head-bob thing and swearing and wouldn't shut up---wait, sorry...got carried away there. Anyway, my point is that debate is a natural and healthy process, but in our selfishness we've given it an offensive connotation.
Thesis vs. antithesis = synthesis. Happens every damn day. It's a good thing. It's just part of the evolutionary process. Scientific empirical method. What seems to be rare is for someone to, when faced with a dissenting opinion, stop and think and consider the other person's thought process and substance of the idea. Most people just try to shout down the other person in an effort to preserve their own position. And one thing I try to do these days is remember that no matter how strong my position is on a particular issue, I try to allow for the possibility that I am dead wrong. For example I wonder if, when the rapture or the tribulation or the Renaissance Festival or whatever it is that is supposed to happen in January DOESN'T HAPPEN, will Leslie come on the board and say "You know what, I was dead f****** wrong about all that. There were no trumpet players in togas, no ghosts doing magic tricks, no nukes, and everybody from my church is still here on the ground eating pizza. Well guys, I have to consider now that I may be wrong about other things as well." Probably too much to ask.
Of course, I could be wrong... |

He and I view the Bible differently. He looks at evil and believes it right to turn the other cheek. I look at evil and believe that it needs to be stopped. I look at history and can only imagine the horrow if the world hadn't stood up to Germany and Japan in WWII. I don't have to wonder about the million people who were killed after we left Viet Nam. I look at evil like Joseph Stalin who killed millions of his own people. And I look at people like FDR, Truman, JFK, Reagan, and the current president who all cared enough about the innocents in other countries, who were being slaughtered, to try to do something to stop it.
Leslie is a pacifist. If he is true to his beliefs, I will respect him for it. But I also have respect for those who are willing to stand up to evil and say "No more".
There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with me or with Leslie. Let's just keep the debate civil. After all, there's gonna be a lot of Ovation stuff to talk about in '05.
Ok, this time I really mean it. No more.

Location: NJ | what puzzles me moody is how a Great family guy like yourself can find the time on Christmas morning to get involved in a political thread instead of opening up presents with your wife and kids, drinking some hot chocolate and eating a ham sandwich. Or did you just go fishing this year????????
btw I made a killer batch of home made horseradish this year!!! |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Al - I think you should make some of that horseradish available through The OFC Store. I'll take a jar!
We had roast beef for Christmas dinner. My wife bought that lame Kraft horseradish sauce. I appreciate your thoughtfulness (since I am the only one here who likes the stuff) but I hated to waste good beef on bad horseradish. |

Your not the only one here who likes it, I keep some in the fridge to put on sandwiches with mayo and mustard.
I thing Al should make samples available. (He probably would if we went to NJ to get it)

Location: NJ | Horseradish. hmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . THAT strike's a chord (somewhere in my sinus cavity). ;)
To me, the only good (bottled) is Gold's.
I also have a penchant for wasabi . . .
Al . . . got a recipe??
(I never made my own . . ) |

It'd be worth the trip if a bit closer. I can drive to Waurika in a few hours. A trip to Al would involve overnight stops. I'll just have to settle for the stuff my wife bought. Kinda like playing a Taylor... ;) |

when my dad died I took over the horseradish duties, there is not a recipe per say just ingredients and you make it to taste.
Part of the holiday thing is I share it with those who like it. both brother in laws got some and I have a quart jar for the new year's crew.
It works great with Kielbasa and ham. I have a great source for killer kielbasa also. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I might get kicked out of WI for saying this but, I prefer kielbasa over brats. After living in the Northwest for so long, I also prefer Tillmook cheese over anything I've had here in Wisconsin. And while we're on taste, I had the misfortune of being talked into trying Limburger cheese this weekend. It is without a doubt, the worse thing I've ever had in my mouth. That includes all the things that never should hve been in my mouth. |

| don't feel sad!!! condition, condition, condition. your friend didn't say whether it is damaged? if it's sold for $650, i think it must have some serious scars or blemishes. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | I'm sure this progression of stray voltage will find its way back to Ovations eventually......but in the meantime, The Spopusal Unit bought some "Beaver" brand horseradish sauce for our prime rib. I could smell my neighbor's perfume, 4-doors-down-the-street! Man, that stuff was good!! Apparently, the stuff is made by an old company in Beaverton, Oregon. Probably could order it over the internet. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Al -- I would be concerned if I thought you even knew where to get some of those additives.....
Willard -- since you are from Wisconsin, condolences on the news of the death of Reggie White. He helped make it safe to admit once again in public that you were from the Green Bay state.
All -- I just thought I would add one more extraneous twist to this thread.

I was wondering what a Spopusal Unit was. It sounds like something that might require a strong antibiotic.
So what is your 'secret horseradish ingredient' Al, morphine or oxycontin? Hahahaha! |

I've been busy with the Holidays and just read this thread... NOW I know why, you took so long to respond to my email...
Kinda of glad I am coming in at this lull, as I as all people would love to debate this, POLITICAL ISSUE, but as has been said before... (Here comes my 2cents :)
We share a love for musical instruments which is a beautiful experiance... making, playing, or even listening to good music is a soul lifting, pleasure, approaching a spiritual "high" found in little else on this wonderful planet we are entrusted with... To polute, this board as well as this planet with "war and rumors of war and such... in this venue, on this board, is "OK", becuase we have the right, but IMHO totaly inapropriate...
I probably will regret having even said THAT... The next time Politics or Religion creeps into a thread, why don't we just direct those that wish to further those issues to other venues were you can rant and discuss those, subjects with others of like mind...
The OFC board is for the love of Musical Instuments, let's try and keep it "plugged in" to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
