Location: GA USA | I've got a lump in my throat as I click Add New Topic. This is a great playing guitar.
1778T Lusty Red
OP 30
OHSC
I bought it from an Ovation dealer who told me it was a factory reconditioned guitar that was never labeled FRG. I don't know about that. All I know is it's in excellent condition with no issues I can find.
A couple more pix at:
lusty red album
$550 includes shipping
I love playing it, but I think I see a good opportunity to upgrade. I just need to sell the LR to do it.

Someone just said that they really Lusted after that one... Who was it?
And they need to get their Allowance, Paper-Route and Recycling Money together. |

Location: GA USA | Okay, let's say that by buying this guitar you could be helping me get my first Adamas. (It's not one advertised on this board).
Artist, that guitar can look pinkish, sometimes maroonish, sometimes purply. It seems to change. But it's always lusty.
TJ, it seems like a long time, doesn't it? It's been less than a year. I got it early last January. |

Yes that's a Herc stand.
I bought two recently but the body of the git rests against the legs (great for a roundback).
That one has the "T bar" rear support, just perfect for a Deacon.
I hadn't seen one like that before.

Location: GA USA | It is perfect for the Deacon. You can set the T to hit right on the backplate.
My son has the one without the T. The only thing about the GS412B is that when you fold it up to go out, the T kinda hangs out there, swiveling about, so you have to take more care with it. |

Location: GA USA | I have no reason to be secretive. There is an Adamas 1581-8 that I would like, and if the stars all align, it may work out. TJ knows the one I'm talking about, but I don't want to point out the seller, since it's not being actively offered to the general populace.
It's been my plan to get one and then another wood top Ovation. I figure then I'll be set for a while. |

One thing buying a guitar does is cause me to waste less time looking around at guitars, searching Ovation on 4 local Craigslist communities, placing the weekly lowball bid on something on ebay, picking up whatever new accessory I think I have to have... maybe I'll get some actual work done until after the first of the year, when some new GAS attack happens. |

Location: GA USA | Okay, time for the cat to leave the bag. I'm leaving shortly for Louisville, KY to spend T-day with my sister. Friday morning I'm meeting Kotadawg for breakfast to take possession of a lovely blue 1581. Pix upon return.
Thanks to Oddball for buying Lusty, to Trader for the referral and Kotadawg for working with me on the lay-away and driving an hour from Ohio to deliver it. Grits are on me! |
