Location: San Diego | Hi gang,
I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I just found this site, and had to join. I have a 1979 1657-7 Anniversay Legend that I bought around 1985 from Guitar Center for $300. I have been playing for 40 years and it is by far the nicest guitar I have played. My wife wanted to buy me a Taylor a few months ago, so I test drove a few of them at a local guitar shop here in San Diego. None of the ones I played made me want to give up my Ovation. (I'll still let her buy me a Taylor if she insists. :) )
Happy holidays all! |

Location: San Diego | Thanks Lanaki! No clue about the member number. Some things are best unknown I guess. Most of the vintage guitars listed were my everyday players at one time or another during my youth, except for the Teisco which I got at a swap meet back in the 90's for $40, and the Kay which was rescued from a dumpster in El Centro, CA about 20 years ago.
Cheers! |

Location: San Diego | lol Nope. My real name is Christopher. Crucifer is just that named drunkenly slurred. Plus it doubles as a stage name if I ever join a Death Metal band. :eek: |

since you've been playing for 40 years, there's probably not much chance of you joining a death metal band. if you do, please don't play your Ovation on stage! |

Location: San Diego | The date on the Esteban is approximate. I haven't researched it yet. It was made by Burswood. I bought it from my father-in-law. I don't want to know where he got it... It has a remarkably good full sound. The playabilty is eecchh! and it feels like it will fall apart at any time.
Never tried a solid body O. Am I missing out? |

...and (obviously) my 'other' guitar is a Tele. |

The refuge & release found in music is comforting, however. Play more, bitch less.
Happy Holidays, Dadgummit! |
