Do you know that the word "gullible" has now been officially removed from the English language?

$20 for a 2" x 4" piece of non-skid tape is why not...

I remember someone cooking up something similar years ago, but I have to assume that if it didn't become a common add-on, its not really something you want to have.

And for 20 bucks I can rent 1.5 hours worth of studio time ... let's see the wife is going out satuday ... I may make some noise this weekend fellas.

Wouldn't the stuff they sell at Lowes or Home Depot for stair treads work as well? :confused:

Just cut to the shape needed. :cool:

Years ago (like back in the Ice Age of 1971), they used to come from the factory with a little pad like that installed. There was one on my 1971 Balladeer and one on my 1974 Pacemaker. Both of them lasted about 3 weeks. I've never really noticed a problem with the guitars slipping, and I've been playing Ovations since '71. Most of the time I stand. When I DO sit, though, it just hasn't been an issue. If you have a problem, adjust you strap so the guitar doesn't hang as low.

And don't wear satin pants!

By the way, the PADS lasted three weeks. I still have both guitars, and they just get better with age.

Hmmmmm....walnut shells. I have this giant oak tree in front of my house that drops about 800,000 metric tons of acorns a year. Would those work, Moody?

There are pads similar to those to put on the bottoms of shoes with slippery leather soles.
Check with any shoe store.

That was just a tongue in cheek warning-- I can't be responsible for your inability to keep your Ovation on your lap if you wear satin pants--especially if you "satin" some paint.
