At the end of the '80's Ovation did make some guitar intended to appeal to rockers and shredders. There were some unusual tops as on the Ultras above, there were the Thunderbolts, and the 88 and 89 Collectors' Editions were clearly designed with electric guitarists in mind.
Those finishes are comparatively rare but $500 for an Ultra better have Brett Michael's autograph on the guitar. :p |

Opens up the question over how the keen powers of taste and etiquette possessed by board members could be used for the good of all.
How about "OFC Eye for the Taylor Guy" or something like that. Possibly "TRading Cases" or "This old Axe". |

We didn't think so. We just knew we'd get a response from you. Don't you just love it when that happens? :D |
