Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I think it would be fun to send my little wooden roundback on a jaunt round the OFC neighborhood.
Quite a few folks have asked about it over the last year or two. I would be willing to send it out there to intertested parties and then each person forward it on to the next. Sorta like the "BOOK"
You can see it in my "opics". It is currently on it's way home from the luthier who performed a little tune-up work on the bracing and bridge and neck.
It is already a world traveler, but for the last couple of years is been pretty sedintary, so, I'm sure she's icthin' for a little adventure.... |

Location: New Orleans | Wow. Earlier this morning I looked at your guitars and was going to ask you about that wooden roundback but had to leave to run an errand. Who manufactured it? I just want to know all about it, it's an eye catcher. How's it sound? ;) |

I love the idea.
If fact if it happens, I'd like to be first.
Keep it for a week or two (2 weeks tops), take to my local music shops as something of interest, take a couple pictures, and send it on. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | OK, Brad you are the first. LeStrange didn't ask so U-duh-man.
I will risk the shipping and ask that folks insure it for 400 dollars and forward it along to only folks they trust to keep the spirit of the loan.
Let's be clear, I will only be paying for shipping/insurance to you. Forwarding it to the next person on the list will be assumed by those who have it.
2-3 weeks each sounds fair. |

Throw me on your list if you will.
I would suggest a hand-off instead of shipping if possible. Photo journal (Post Topic) is a must.

And to answer Lestrange's questions- I had this guitar made while in the Philippines by a guy in a tiny shop in Lapu-Lapu on the Island of Mactan. Lapu-Lapu is renown as the location where Magellan met his death at the hands of the natives (and well deserved mind you) in 1522 as he circumnavigated the world under Spanish flag on route to the "Spice Islands"
The guitar is a super shallow bowl and sounds comenserate with bowl depth. It was easy to travel with and that was the main purpose. The materials and contruction are first rate, though you have to remember, I paid $300 dollars for a custom made guitar...a one off. |

You make me the offer of the roundback on the OFC Kindness thread (in the middle of the night) :) and before I can respond, I find out it is offered to the world :eek: and there is already a line of OFCers waiting their turn to play it :mad:
So this is how you repay my kindness!

Besides, the postings here of the "Hand-Off" photos could be interesting . . . . |

I did offer StephenT first dibbs, but he failed to respond in better than a day and a half...
and he also, pulled some strings to get me listed me as "A Person of Interest" with the Colorado State Police and Interstate Trade Commission, severely limiting my ability to travel within that state after, I offered to relieve him of his slightly sub-par FD-14...though he never did bring a copyright infringement suit against me for posting his FD-14 picture on my website.
So, I guess I should offer to send it out to Mr. Terry first, then he to Brad an so-forth and so-on.
Woody and Cliff offer legitimate concerns...But, If I am any example, the guitar would hardly move at all. So, both hand offs and shipping are appropriate. Please insure it. It must also have a tracking number...and we should keep a log of it's location posted on this board.
What worth is life without a little risk... |

Take it to my local music store. The owner there can appreciate something like this.
If I have it on September 9th. I might play it at an open mic night.
Pack the BeJezzus out of it when I send it on.
Do my best to give Jeff's guitar an adventure.
I do have one advantage. UPS comes to my shop twice a day. I can ship it, insured for about $15.
Jeff...Look for my company address in your e-mail.

Location: Central Oregon | I can't play nice Mike. In fact I can hardly play, period. I couldn't play at all for six weeks. I've been fighting this miserable tendonitis in my left elbow for going on four months now. Gripping with my elbow bent makes it much worse. I can play for a half hour or so now so it's getting better. Ultrasound & anti-inflammatory drugs didn't fix it completely so now I'm trying DMSO. So far I think it's helping but it's only been four or five days. Riding my bike is bad too. Squeezing the clutch is worse than playing a guitar. Dammy. |

It should then move on to Mr Terry in Colorado. Then to Woody and friends in the great NW and then on to Designzilla.
From there on I ask that folks only send it to people you trust to keep the guitar safe and moving in the spirit intented.
Also, please, post on the thread where it is and where it's going.
Always ship with a tracking ID and insure for $400.00.
Enjoy Brad |

I have been keeping close tabs on the progress of your box back "A" and Brian's enslavement...I can't wait to see it finished and hear the sound review.
The wooden roundback is a nicely built guitar and the back is amazingly well done...but as I said before it ain't gonna win any sound awards... |

There were four at my house alone at one time.I had three(31,33,57) and Kip Attaway brought his over(#60) traveling thru ga. during a tour.Should have took a pic.. |

Location: SE Michigan | Well Jeff, I played your guitar tonight. Brad (Slipkid) brought it over to my house. It's quite a piece of work. Looks like the entire back is one solid block of mahogany that was carved into a bowl shape. I wish I had a larger set of calipers to measure the bowl thickness.
At first I thought it was an Ovation neck but then we saw subtle differences in the shape of the headstock and the laminated overlay which were different. Brad told me it was made by a luthier in the Phillipines. It looks like he was quite a craftsman. The shape of the bowl looks like an exact duplicate of a Ovation shallow bowl. I can only imagine a determined asian woodworker, limited to hand tools and maybe a band saw laboring to duplicate an Ovation. He came pretty close. The guitar has tons of character and certainly makes me respect the efforts of it's maker. In all fairness though it sounds like a shallow bowl, but it really sounds decent when you get right in front of it, a trait of most Ovations.
Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. |

Very glad you got your hands on it. I too, really appreciate the work that went into it. If folks had the chance to see the luthier's shop (ehh, hut) they would verrry impressed. I wouldn't call it modern...maybe "Bronze Age"
As stated, it ain't gonna win any sound awards...I was travelling pretty extensively in Asia at the time and playing in my hotel rooms and such, so a "not so loud" guitar was perfectly suited for my use.
Throw a (sound hole) pick-up in it and try it out...It has never been amped in any fashion!!! |

Location: south east Michigan | I re-enforced the box. It's boxed and ready to go out Monday. I'll throw in a copy of the "traveling trinket" that I send along with the book.
As the roundback travels, and with Jeffs okay, what the guitar could really use is some better tuners. A couple people who played it made that comment. Maybe someone has an extra set.
Also, I have had a lot of fun. I have shown it around and told it's story. People have thought it was a very cool thing to do.
A disposable camera is going with it. I have some interesting digital pics to post but I am having all kinds of 'puter trouble. I can't get my almost 9 year old system off of 16-bit color. Can't find my a Adobe Photo Deluxe disc to reload it. Kodak disc will not open. My new system will be up & running on the 26th. Then...look-out! |

Thank you for showing her a good time and taking such good care of her. Great first stop on the tour and I will eagerly await the pics till you are up and running with the new system...wouldn't you know it, I will be on the road then until the 30th.
You and the others are right, the tuners are crap, but they were the best we could get our hands on at the time (remember this guitar was made in Lapu-Lapu city on the island of Mactan, though famous as the island where Magellean justifiably met his violent demise, I defy anyone to find it on a map)... If anyone feels inclined to put other tuners on, I will reimburse for the cost of the tuners...but please, Weaverlys are not necessary!
Again, Brad thanks. I am pleased that you enjoyed her stay and hope she spreads a smile or two along her future travels. |

Honestly, I could not say for certain.
I do believe, as with the neck/ headstock, it was handmade. These guys have a freakish talent for imitation. That's a compliment.
Funny thing...and for those who have not been able to travel in Asia...Philippino (Filipino) muscians are in great demand all over Asia. They have an uncanny ability to imitate western music which is very popular, not only amoung tourists. More than once I was in complete disbelief as I listened to a cover of John Denver, the Eagles , Fleetwood Mac etc... |

Then Woody.
Then Designzilla
That's where we are as of now.
This is just a suggestion....It worked well with the book. It's tough to keep track of a list that has 10 people on it. How about when Designzilla get it he makes an post on the board the the first 3 people make up the next list. The last person on that list does the same thing. |

When is CMS and when would I need to send it out to safely arrive on time (assuming I get it later this week). |

If nobody claims it, Jeff won't care. Heck it needs new tuners anyway! |

Take a breath. Relax. Stephen is yanking ya. Even if something did happen...I harbour no ill will. I knew the risks involved going in.
I'd feel sorry fer Woody, he was looking real forward to changing out those tuners.

Okay.
However, before you look at these....I have an announcement to make.
It almost did not happen.
Their agents fussed over top billing and what color m&m's for the dressing room. Egos clashed. Tempers flared. But it did happen.....and in 4 hours...that's about 6 p.m. EST, I will be allowed to post pictures of the event. Be there.
.
This is a pic of Paul Huber of Huber-Breese Music. Nice guy. He found the story of the wooden roundback interesting and was pleased to have it make a stop at his store.
.
This young lad, (and I just can't remember his name right now) won first place in a national guitar competetion over the summer.

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Well Brad, it is a long story with my wife having been hospitalized with a condition (that turned out to be much more serious than originally thought) over the last 6 days.
If you reread the message you quoted, you will see that I never said the guitar was smashed....I said I was.
In a fit of self pity over my wife's condition, I proceeded to get really blitzed, drunk, loaded or "smashed" as we use to say.
I was telling Jeff that I would not be home anytime soon to play with the guitar.
In my blitzed condition, what I wrote made perfect sense. Rereading the message a week later I can certainly see where the misunderstanding arose.
Since I was spending almost all of my time at the hospital, I did not ever get back on the board to see what a commotion I had created until Blues brought it to my attention.
Sorry if I caused anyone any grief or loss of sleep.
My wife is home now and doing much better.
I should be able to return to being my smartass sarcastic self within a few days.
Mortality Sucks!
Thank you and goodnight to all. |

#1..I am sorry to hear about your wife's problems and am glad to hear she is doing better. Yes...morality sucks so every minute counts.
#2..Now I feel like a schmuck. I stayed awake a little longer worrying about something that in comparison, was very minor. You had a much better reason to loose sleep.
#3.."I arrived"...I thought is was a typo meant to say "IT arrived". That way the post made sense. Then you just dropped out of sight. There would be a number of excusable reasons to disappear like that. Your reason would qualify in the top 3 at least. |

In any case, I hope she is recovering well, and that you two are spending happily your time together while she heals.
Please, offer her my best wishes.

Just some thoughts. |

I was just about to request an address from our boys from the Northwest so I could send her along the next leg of the journey.
Very cool guitar......amazingly light but can't hold a tune worth a crap! Those new tuners will make a big difference!
OK....who's up next?

Maybe it's a good idea to share it with everybody in your neck of the woods a bit so folks in the great northwest can enjoy it before sending it to the opposite corner of the country. And when it gets here, it can do the Florida leg of the tour. After the southeast it could go to some other part of the country and hang out a while.
I know this effects everybody on the list, so for those of you on the wooden roundback tour list - what do you think. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | WOW.....as I was packing the roundback for it's journey to Woody, I noticed a package on the outside of the case that contained Slipkids trinkets.
Can't believe I overlooked it the first time but I guess in my excitement to open Jeff's traveling puppy up, I totally missed it.
Brad, that is some very cool stuff! :) Naturally, I transfered it over to my computer while leaving the original disc to travel on to it's next destination.
Actually, it inspired me to gather up some interesting stuff I routinely use and send it along as T28's OFC Trinkets. Hopefully, everyone along the line will find it as useful as I found your trinket to be. |

Someone down the line will have to scrape up another outer box.
By the time Jeff gets it back there will be a ton of trinkets to go through.
I'm lucky I only had to insure for $400 what with the going rate now up around $4000. :eek: |

So guys, what do you think? Should we try to ship it around a region or just ping pong it around the OFC? Don't make me do a poll... :) |

I kept having strange dreams that my name was Bill and I could write orders for whatever kind of Ovation I wanted made! It wasn't a bad dream, but I think my foot was asleep and uncomfortable. Might of been because the snakeskin boots I was wearing didn't fit!
When I woke up this morning I had an overwhelming urge to clean out my closets and...
lo and behold I found this...
Then it came back to me. I have been Bogarting the Wooden W, er, Roundback!
I need help! Can someone explain to me what Bogart means? Where should I send this to next? |

Thanks, Woody. She looks great.

I am meaning to ask W2 if the designer of the peghead later worked for Disney on the Aladin Project!
I wasn't able to redo as much as I wanted to but I did strip and redo the headstock and part of the neck. A little clean up in various spots but there is still plenty of "character" left. Changing tuners just left too many tattletales.
She has new Adamas 1818's, a case and several trinkets from Slipkid, will carry the Dadi DVD's and Brad's disposable camera.
Waskel has been waiting patiently and there will be a gathering in SoCal for the Man, er, NAMM Show soon. I still think arranged hand-offs are the way to go.
I will do what the voices tell me! |

but, I am not the cruise director...you guys figure it out. |

I have a feeling I'll get to play her in May. Am I right, Jeff? |

Next - A person-to-person pass is my first choice but I can ship it anywhere.
Waskel - Have a great mission! I can even wait until you get back if need be. |

If Dave still has it then, I could just play it and let him worry about shipping it to the next person.
I'm worrying about what effect it may have on my wife if I take her with me to see Dave's guitars, not to mention the effect that meeting Dave may have on her. |

I was thinking of sending/passing it to Waskel, who should return soon.
With it is a Slipkid CD set and camera, The Dadi DVD and a few other items. Truth is I like to let my Wife see a guitar leave the house occasionally!
Any ideas, views or local persons wanting in on the fun?
Kurt (MrGolf007) just had shoulder surgery so I will need to go over to his house and play his guitars for him!

A lawyer was driving his Porsche down the highway, singing to himself, "I love my Porsche, I love my Porsche." Focusing on his car, not his driving, he smashed into a tree. He miraculously survived, but his car was totaled. "My Porsche! My Porsche!" he sobbed.
A good Samaritan drove by and cried out, "Sir, sir, you're bleeding! And my god, your left arm is gone!"
The lawyer, horrified, screamed "My Rolex! My Rolex!"

I will try to personally deliver it to Dave, but I'm not sure that taking it on the plane will be safer than shipping it.
My wife just suggested that I just drop her off at my parent's in Arizona while I visit Dave because she doesn't want to sit around and wait for us to play guitars. What a great idea! I had the same idea, but knew if I suggested it, she'd be pissed. Probably better that she not meet Dave anyway. She thinks I'm crazy. |

Moody visited a few years ago and the first thing he says to Mrs. Dave is "So, what do you think about all those guitars your husband buys". Way to go Moody! Mark let me know what time you'll arrive and I'll be sure the gas tank is full, the gold card is in her purse and her car is headed towards the mall ...

Since my wife doesn't want to be present, I promise I will not cause any trouble with Mrs. Dave. I will not tell my wife that you sent yours to the mall with the gold card. She doesn't need those ideas. We'll all be better off if my wife spends her time drinking with the old folks in the trailer park. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I believe, and Jeff can correct me, that the wooden Wonder was a small shop-high man hour-low overhead instrument that was available while he was traipsing about the Pacific Rim in search of knowledge and Customers.
The instrument itself does not have any superlative properties but "when you can't be with the Juan you love, love the Juan you're with"!
The fact that they copied the Ovation is flattery and the amount of inlay work is impressive. the sound is similar to an elite with the access cover pulled. The wood back resonates in both directions.
There was the start of a hump behind the bridge after a week of mediums at full tension. A set of Nylon strings might work out! The new set of tuners really did make a big difference.
Mostly, I enjoyed it because it came from my OFC Pals and is now part of our shared history.
With it I packed the Dadi DVD from France along with a journal.
Enjoy, share and play! |

I must say it's an interesting guitar and actually sounds and plays much better than I had expected. Setup isn't half bad. The craftsmanship in the bowl is pretty stunning. I've got it on the band saw right now cutting the scale down to a uke-like 16 inches. Nice tuners Wood-person. Dave |

Southwest was interesting. They said I couldn't carry it on, but suggested I check it in a box. Packed it in the box and got it there. They wanted to charge me $50 for oversized luggage. The clerk asked why I didn't just carry it on, so we unpacked it. Had styrofoam sticking to everything. We stopped in Las Vegas and it seemed like everyone else had guitars as carryon.
I brought a guitar back and carried it on without any questions on Southwest.
Dave was a great host and even drove me down to my parents'. None of us would have wanted my family to wait around while we played all Dave's guitars. |

Pleased to hear that you and Dave enjoyed your visit and sounds like the WRB added a bit of interesting schmaltz to the affair. I just hope it is not a ukulelele now (or even thinks it's one).
I've never had any problems with a guitar as carry-on, unless I was flying puddle jumpers with sparse overhead storage. Glad you got it worked out.
Where's it off to next? |

Most guitars without any electronics feel light to me, but I expected the woodback to be thicker. The wooden bowl must be very thin and I was awed by the time and talent that it took to make it that thin. |

You're right, Mark, as I have said before, though it may not take ribbons in the sound department (it's not bad, just not remarkable), there is a high degree of craftsmanship in it. And if you saw the shop in which it was made, you would be dumbfounded...we are talking, late Bronze Age... |

| Yeah Hey what ever is easiest? I suppose that guitar could hit a bunch of guys at the Gathering? I would feeel funny keeping it for a while anyway I would only want to play it for a while here it, rub it a little, and send it off. So perhaps the tour is the best for me.
What ever you guy's think?? I am sure Jeff would like to have this back someday?

And since I suggested passing it around regionally, it might be nice if it worked it's way toward the Mothership so it's there for the tour. Then if I actually get to the tour maybe I could bring it back with me. |

I incorrectly assumed he was on the schedule and also wanted to have an excuse to visit him. Even if it was way out of the way, which it wasn't, my wife would want me to go just to get rid of a guitar.
I'm sure it will find its way back east somehow. |

Personally I'm OK with it migrating easterly. I figure it'll get down here eventually. With a lot more trinkets! :D
When it shows up it might be a good excuse to get some of the Florida OFCers together to jam and drink. |

Isn't this the same guitar as yours:

For the price, it looks like a pretty good deal, even with the repair issue.

I do hope folks are documenting its travel (in pictures at least) as I have an idea I would like to try when (if) it returns home....
so, please take photos (digital if possible) and include them either in the case or save them to be used at a later date on your computer/ OFC gallery (if it ever works again)/etc... |

Location: Orlando, FL | After all the back and forth with the brownnes. The WRB showed up during dinner yesterday. Spent an hour or so checkin' her out last night.
First, this is a very pretty guitar. The craftsmanship is amazing. The wooden back is beautiful. The abalone dresses it up nicely. Its looks right at home with my Ovations.
It doesn't sound nearly as full as any of my Ovations but it sounds pretty good. It has its own unique voice.
It plays easily and is surprisingly light.
The trinkets included (so far) in no particular order are:
The Ovation 40th Anniversary brochures
The Unique Voices CD
A CD of the WRB at MWoody's
A CD called OFC Calendar trinket
The "Members Night Out" OFC CD
T28's Backing tracks on CD
An itty bitty Kaki King CD with 2 songs on it
A CD marked NAMM 2006
Slipkids traveling trinket
A CD of Ukulele songs (wonder where that came from) :rolleyes:
2 Ovation shaped air fresheners
and the Marcel Dadi CD!
This is so cool! I am really excited to check out all this great stuff! |

Though it's currently at the far corner of the country, and 30,000 people are lined up and waiting, .... if we pull off the Pacific Norhtwest gathering in August, what's chances of the WRB making a quick visit and moving on....? |

Now that DZ has it, is there a list of who or where is next...? |

Actually I find I post more when stressed out and stretched between three or more projects. Since what I do is play middleman or buffer it is the waiting for replies that gets me spun.
Which would be today!
And BTW, I don't need a job, I have a position... |

Location: GA USA | tten, are you coming to the SE gathering? Looking at every page (yawn) of this thread, and the other 2 wrb threads, I see that of us sou'easterners, tten, samova, myself and BluesSailor expressed a desire to get the wrb. The only other member that was anything like SE was Photogazer in VA.
Jeff said to figure out the order after it got to Dzilla. I should get it soon. So we'll work out the order at the gathering, and I'll hand it off.
Maybe Photogazer could get it after we're done, and then send it to Jeff to keep all the swag and send it off again nekkid. |

Jeff, you wrote "I had this guitar made while in the Philippines by a guy in a tiny shop in Lapu-Lapu on the Island of Mactan."
How long ago did you have it made? Any other interesting tidbits that should go along with the presentation. I'm lined up to play it at church next Wednesday and I'll have to give some backgound. |

Location: GA USA | Good grief. Now I see why Zilla had it so long. I would take a while to check out all the swag that's been tacked on.
I don't think it's gonna work for playing Wednesday with the Youth band, though. They rock out and the wrb is all acoustic. I have a pickup that will clip into the hole, but then you're not hearing the guitar, only the string vibration. There's no place to attach a strap, and there's a little issue with the low E string slipping out of the nut regularly. But I'll take it and show it around. |

I'll think about the buttons. I don't want to weaken the butt area where the large crack is (after typing that, I had to take a giggle break) but if I shift it to the rear (snicker) I can avoid that. I suppose I should place it below the inlay stripe, right?
I have a set of Dunlop pegs from the strap locks I bought for the Balladeer. |

Location: GA USA | It dawned on me why you may have not had the problem with the slippage. It's got new tuners, right? The profle of the post must be higher. It was wound with only one wind around the post, and there was no break in the line (see photo). I replaced the strings and left enough to wind down the post and now it has plenty of tension.

I'm going to announce each item as I put it all on ebay and then retire with the proceeds...
Assuming, of course, it ever makes it back. It's been on the road longer than the Rolling Stones... more than a year now and has at least three more people to visit.
Jas, great shot. I agree with Brad, that's what it all about...(I'm still waiting for a pic of it in the arms of a gorgeous flight attendant 'neath the Eiffel Tower) |

later on that ovations neck took a dive, for the worse'
i hope to someday have another ovation classical that is worthy of the pickguard.
the savarez 520-p's which are silk strings are not shown here because this pic was taken well after the guitar was gutted and salvaged parts used on another guitar.
520-p's have five of the six strings wound < very nice strings :) |
