Well, I see there's a Tak limited edition coming. With all the changes to Ovation, will there be a Collector's edition coming?

There have been Ovation Collector's editions every year since 1982 (plus arguably the first "collector's" edition being the Bicentennial Patriot). Without Kaman's push - and design talent - Takamine would never have started issuing collectors editions. I don't see any reason why they'd stop now.

Well... not exactly. There was no 2004 Collectors, officially. To my knowledge there was only one built, and it's hidden away in a guitar storage facility rivaled only by the government warehouse at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

The reason there wasn't a 2004 Collector was because the 2003 is so good they figured it was good enough to count for 2003 and 2004. In fact I wonder why they made the 2005 (for the same reason).

um... nice theory, Dweez, but... no. It was because they did the 30th anniversary re-issue of the 1719 CL instead.

Ok, I'll give you that. The one '04 they did make was a very sweet guitar.
