| For the people who have bought new Ovations. Once you have tried them for awhile and feel you've explored it to a certain degree, how about placing some reviews in harmonycentral, or musiciansfriend, or music123, or anywhere you see the opportunity to spread your opinion. I noticed harmonycentral has no lx reviews yet and no 2003 collector reviews. People may not rely on these type of reviews, but I know a lot of people who read them. Just a thought. |

I just hit MF, M123, Music Gear Review and Harmony Central.
Your right. When I go shopping/surfing I digested as much info as I could get my hands on.
And just in case you didn't hear... the Elite LX is awesome! |

Location: Scotland | The problem with those sites is that there is no objectivity. Everything's either "totally awesome dude!" or "total crap" So regardless of how good or bad the product may actually be, it just becomes meaningless hyperbole (hyper-bollocks) |

Location: Upper Left USA | You know, the problem with you British guy's is that you speak real english. I had to go look up what a bullock was. There are some definite extremes in the "open market" opinion venues.
What would be the best route to share our opinions with the musician audience? |

Location: Scotland | That's "bollocks" not "bullocks" Bollocks is brit-speak for either a) the testicles (or knackers) e.g. "I kicked him square in the bollocks b)something which is a bit crap e.g. "what a load of old bollocks" or c) an inaccurate statement e.g. "He's talking complete bollocks". Also, confusingly the word is used to describe something rather spiffing & splendid e.g "My new LX is the (dog's) bollocks!" |

Location: Upper Left USA | It's bad enough that I grew up 15 miles from Boston and thought the letter "R" was really a vowel. I'll have to save that "dog's balls" comparison for something special, like a truss rod in a "Mah'tin" or a pick guard on a Tacoma.
The memory I pulled from was John Cleese at some award show during the "Clinton Era". He said that the British were superior because:
they spoke real english
they only went down on one knee for their leader!
BTW: what is the best way to share the love of Ovation with the rest of the world? |
