I LOVE quilted maple. I love the nutmeg finish. I see nothing I dislike about this guitar. (Except the price....'cause I'm nearly busted right now....dangit....)

You know what GAS is like by now....this is all about WANT, "need" has nothing to do with it. |

You're right! I need a 87C-4, a 1763, Adamas I & II then I'm done, really.
I have got a little more clearer about what I like and don't like as players guitars from actually owning and playing (and then selling) a lot of the Ovation range.
For example the 01C looked gorgeous but couldn't 'compete' with say the 07C so out it went. I personally think having a smaller 'palette' to choose from works best for me.
I say get it, look at it, enjoy owning it but most important of all play it! |

Location: CA | Pretty guitar. Are these quilt tops really 'solid' and not laminated?
Also, sorry for the ignorance, but Long and McQuade is a music store? (So says Google) So these were a special order thing like the Sweetwater T's? |

Location: Rocky River, Ohio | I think Ovation was making these during the last open house in 2007.
I saw the quilt on a few Elite bodies, so I asked Rick, and he said they were limited editions.
He didn't say anything about Long and McQuade though.
I have to dig up my pics, I think I took pics of it.. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My daughter has the Nutmeg Quilted Maple Celebrity Deluxe. It is really pretty and made a nice match with my Bubinga 99 Collectors, which I probably shouldn't have sold. |
