Location: NoHo, CA | Queens of the Stone Age's new album just came out. Get ready for the onslaught of people looking for Ultra GP's. Be nice to 'em. I use to be one. Of course if anyone has one to sell I'd always add a third one to my collection...

Location: NoHo, CA | The Viper is cool, no question. But the GP...aw man. With out a doubt my favorite sounding guitar I've ever played. Well worth all the effort I put into finding one. It is the sound of God. |

It's so nice to see an Ovation solid body get recognition that I won't argue with you at all. Play your GP's and enjoy, sounds like you made a good choice when you bought them. |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | i have never had the pleasure to play an ultra gp and hear nothing but raves about them. have you played the somewhat more common ukII. it is my favorite electric with a fantastic neck. i am in los angeles area every 3 months or so ickygoo. any chance you would show me one of your gp's? can you tell me what it is that you especially like about them? maybe we could hook up with paul (moodypi), bend a few tortillas and talk about ovation solid bodies. |

Are you going to post a picture of your "deluxe" so we can all see it, is it working OK? |

I've got one more Ovation humbucking pickup coming in from Paul in England, and now own a digital camera. So in about two weeks, I'll post a pic and you guys can all snicker at my guitar (well, maybe not at the guitar, but at all I went thru to make a "one of a kind" guitar!). |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | i never saw your viper paul. i'll look forward to seeing it here. ive got a couple of vipers. one with a blonde body and one dark. not sure about the woods, but hey, they are great little guitars. the brownbird bill sold me is a viper style 12 string with an aluminum frame and urelite construction. it has two humbuckers. very cool axe and a joy to play. my guess is that ovation solid bodies are going to continue to have a growing following. |

I'm playing my Viper now but will post a pic when I get the second humbucker from Paul T in England. Trade is good with England now that they are no longer fighting us regarding our independance.
I really want to see a pic the the Brownbird 12. How did you ever talk Bill into parting with it, and what other guitars did you dicker him out of? |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | i guess bill knew i was the aluminum frame nut in the group and knew i was looking for a solid body 12 string. i didn't know how much i was going to like it. the other really great guitars he sold me were an adamas 6 string just like the one larry coriel (sp?) is playing in the ovation book, and the prototype ss adamas 12 string. i can't believe i waited 35 years to treat myself to some really fine guitars. the neck on that adamas 12 string is almost sensuous. and it is hard to believe it is a ss when played unplugged. thanks brother bill!!!!! |
