I thought that USA Ovations didn't have 'dot' fret markers. I notice that there isn't a label inside the soundhole. |

I thought it was used for the love/hate relationship of an "Ex" that still looked hot and liked to drop in once in a while.
It does appear that there is an Ovation awakening in OZ, glad to see it happening. |

It would be very interesting to know how many are down here - I'm trying to get a mate who has two O's to join and he knows a few others who may know others..... |

Brisbane is currently the Ovation capital of Australia. |
