Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I couldn't believe it! I did one of my routine online searches for Ovations and tripped across a music store that had three, count'em, three never purchased copies. So I bought'em all to try and keep them in the family. Two are for sale. I'm reading one, and the other two have never been opened. They're paper backs, and the only wear is what little edge scuffing you would expect from a book that's been sitting on a shelf since it was delivered! I kid you not when I say they are NEW!
$40 shipped via Priority Mail in the CONUS. Overseas folks just need to check about shipping first.
Once again, I've got two for sale. Who wants'em?

Even though it has the allegedly price reducing scribbling inside the cover that PT warns about, I'll take my chances! |

| Hey AJ, don't buy a copy, I have a spare you can have... I'll ship it in the case with the Deacon.
no signature in it, it's only a few weeks old, I ordered a new copy when I couldn't find the old one... and murphy's law and all that. found the old one...
regarding the deacon, came home from the grocery store, and the box was just leaning up against the fence out by the road... about 30 feet from my door....you should report it un-delivered... or stolen... would serve them right. it is very nice tho gonna tune it up in a few.

AJ, buy one so I can buy Glenn's... |

Welcome to the club. I got the order confirmation too, but nothing has happened on my credit card or in the mail box. What Ovations do you have? |

| Welcome Chris, you may not know it but your part of a larger conspiracy and a loosely organized Aussie Invasion I think. So far all we can determine is your after all the guitars....... |

Location: Melbourne Australia | Good Morning All,
Thanks for your welcome - it was my birthday yesterday and I took the day off so didn't read any emails.
I've got a 1621 that has been fixed up by Jim Cargill (fantastic job) which I got as couple of years ago and just recently purchased an LX6756. Then I have a few other lower end brands that I keep trying to hide from my wife. Her comment is "You can't play as well as your mates so why do you need so many??" She just doen't understand Hahahaha
I might try calling the company directly and see what they say.
Cheers
Chris |

Location: Melbourne Australia | I found out that National Music in Qld has a number of copies but you have to go through a local dealer. I tried my local and asked them to get it in and they said they had a copy they will hold for me - this shop is only 15 mins from home and can probably get more in AUS$39.95
