Location: Minden, Nebraska | I saw the name of this thread and it reminded me of a recent Ovation Legend auction where the seller used keyword spamming in his listing title that said "Taylor Martin". That, of course, caused eBay to cancel the auction since it clearly violates eBay rules against such.
Later the guy tried selling the same guitar on Harmony Central with Taylor Martin in parentheses. I ended up irritating him by emailing him to tell him I thought he has a cool orange Legend, but needed to ask, "Who is Taylor Martin?" That is an Ovation endorser I am not familiar with...... :D
Bless his heart and good luck in selling his guitar. I guess when you want $700 for a used Legend, you need Taylor Martin's help. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Actually his name is Martin Taylor and he's an endoress from England. Played a 1624 in an Irish Wedding band. Always used to come in first in the pint quaffing contests. Passed on a few years ago saddly. |

What confused me is that he doesn't play a Martin OR a Taylor...... :)

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Systematic elimination of endorsees notwithstanding, the seller to which I made reference probably doesn't know anything about Martin Taylor. His reference was "Taylor Martin". But it did make for an even more interesting thread. |
