I was searching thru E-Bay last week and I saw this Ol'Dawg Ovation, going down in flames with it's original case. ( no one seemed to care) :( I felt guilty even thinkin about buying it, but it just seemed to call me...I bought it for $158.00 and it came with a Crate GX-20 Amp too!
Anyways, it arrived today.  WOW! I had asked the seller what model it was and all he could offer was that it had a serial # of 167868 ( 1979) He said there was no label.
When I opened the case (which was pristine and like-new) I was floored! I picked up the guitar and I heard a thunk!! There was the label free floating in the guitar. It is a 1624 Country Artist and she sounds KILLER!!!
It has a finish crack and a small little bump on her surface, but the neck and everything else is amazing. The chrome looks like brand new!!! :) The amp is spotless. 
I am just SO happy....Then to top that, Dave is sending out the 2079LX this week. :sigh:
What more could a woman want? Someone pass me some tissue, Please!
Thanks guys, for welcoming me to your little clubhouse. |

Location: Eugene, Oregon | At first, I was a bit shy of the nylon but this guitar just sings. I feel bonded with this old girl. I know where I was in 79' and it feels good to give this guitar the love it deserves.
I am thinking about refinishing her top. Any help with this would be much appreciated. |

Location: Tennessee | Pokey ... you're showing all the signs of GAS. Life doesn't get much better than this! Warning: There's a sign on our little clubhouse - "The He-Man Woman-Haters Club" - but you have to guess the identity of all the widdel waskels. :)
Seriously, GAS is a gender-neutral affliction. Stick around and take some of the heat off the rest of us. And never let it be known that you think llamas are cute. |

Hmmm. Bobbo, please don't associate me with your misogynistic delusions... I have enough problems.
Here's your culprit.

:) That's okay. We girls have our own wittle parties that we tell you guys, are 'candle' or 'make-over' get-togethers.
We really DO lite candles, but eye liner is near impossible to put on and chant properly. ;) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The only time someone called me a misogynist, I had to look it up. Let's see, same wife for almost 30 years, 2 very well raised daughters, the only other male in the house is a cat. I think pussy-whipped is way more accurate than misogynist.
It is odd that there's a way higher percentage of women in the Porsche Club than there are here. Pokey, you could do several us a favor if you could convert our wives over to Ovation fans, but we probably would go broke. |
