I'm sure one will eventually turn-up on eBay or another CL seller will surface that won't be so adverse to shipping. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Fletcher, are you in California or Oregon? I've got a daughter in Tacoma, not far away, and my other daughter might be able to take it with her to northern California after Christmas. But I have to disclose that if she picked it up, it would probably end up in Idaho instead of California. I should probably sell a couple so I could justify a 97. I can rationalize buying a parlor guitar because it's a different size than the 15 other Ovations I've got hanging around. |

Sorry for the delay, just got in from work.
I've contacted the seller to see if anything can be set-up quickly for a third party pick-up but I haven't heard back yet.
Thanks again guys... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was just reminded that my daughter will be flying in tonight instead of driving. Getting it on the airplane during the Christmas madness will not be likely. You might contact Damon and see if he'd pick it up and ship it down. I think he's pretty close. |

Looks like all ideas have been exhausted so the '97C, I assume, will be staying in Seattle.
Thanks to everyone for their attempts to help me get this one down to CA, but as Iffy said,"I wasn't meant to have THIS one." |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I suppose I should try a 97 before I sell off a couple to make room for a one. I thought a parlor guitar would be nice for some variety, but I thought the same about the SSB Custom Balladeer and the Country Artist, both of which are gathering dust. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | The Parlor really is different from the others--mine is the one I usually play when I'm home, unless I really need the extra frets from the cutaway. I still thoroughly enjoy the tonal qualities my Princess has, and it's been several months now. (The wonderful thin neck doesn't hurt, either.)
If you get one, Mark, you may not just let it become a case dweller...and, if you would like to try one, come to Ali's Black Hills jam the end of June (coming up quick, now)--I know she's got the 14-fret version there for us to enjoy.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was thinking about this one this morning again. It's the same price I paid for the Patriot, which is a great guitar, but I have another Custom Legend. I have 3 Balladeers and the Custom Balladeer doesn't get played. The Country Artist sits in the case in the office. If I could unload one or two of those, the 97 would at least be something different.
I'd love to go to the Black Hills jam, but it's a surprisingly long drive from here and I will be driving or flying to Chicago the next week. |

Thank you again Ryan! |

Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | Just got an e-mail from the parlor owner stating that I was unfair to make the statement, "condition wasn't exactly as advertised (understatement)" as I had not actually seen the guitar.
This is true and I apologize publicly.
I have no direct knowledge of the guitar's condition. |

Location: Seattle, WA | Is OFC always so mean spirited?
I love my Ovation Guitars but...
Anyway, I had the '97 for sale in the Seattle area and wanted to sell it in person as CL advises. I bought it sight unseen a few years ago and the neck is too narrow for me.
Actually it's very nice except the D string's tuning peg handle which just cracked. I'll need to replace it. After checking it out for Fletcher, your guy said it was worth more on OFC than I was asking.
I think maybe the negativity is misplaced.
Happy Holidays to all

Is OFC always so mean spirited? Absolutely... NOT! We support each other in our quests for our beloved Ovations/Adamii and pertinent information . When we perceive an outside 'attitude', we tend to rally.
In fact, you'll probably not find a tighter group on the web. Poke around a bit and you'll find numerous acts of kindness, sharing, giving and support.
We also have our differences, like most 'families', that can get interesting, to say the least.
So if you're an Ovation lover, then welcome and hang around for a plateful of info.
And Happy Holidays to you also! |
