Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Can you have too many of these? Mine served as my primary gigging guitar for 20 years and still plays and sounds great, so I am particularly sentimental about this model. Could be the flash, but the finish looks a bit lighter than most. Nonetheless, I may have to watch this one. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | It's the model John used and is pictured prominently on the cover of his "acoustic" CD. Ovation made a reissue a few years ago (you can read about it on my website). I dubbed it the JL3 (John Lennon Legend Limited). The one on ebay is the original model. |

Location: SoCal | I'd buy this guitar if I had the money right now. An almost pristine A braced, non K-bar Legend? It should sound wonderful. As to the action being high, the pics show that the saddle is pretty high. Pull out a shim or two and it should be perfect.
With money down on the OFC'er, my guitar buying is going to be very very limited for the next year or so. |

It means that I've made the down payment on the OFC guitar. |

Blessings! :rolleyes: Mike, I'm pulling for you! You'd like the JL a lot. About your Taylor, well I'm pretty sure it would blow away any of my ovations. But I've got a few wood boxes that I'd love to A/B against it (he he).

Location: Boise, Idaho | Dave's JL3 may have been my favorite of Dave's collection. I decided to go with the 30th Anniversary CL instead. Now I'm in the same boat as Moody, so maybe another one of these will turn up in a couple years. |

Lets do it if we get the chance; and I am sure your Ovations are just fine! Each has a voice and a place... :rolleyes: |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Now that I said that, I'd have to get a bigger boat to hold Moody, and the new boat budget just got spent on the OFC guitar. A few more years on the old 85 won't hurt. |

(I still don't see a blue two knobber in there) I have a basement rec room. I how have hooks on 3 walls, but 2 of the walls are small. I also have a bonus room above the 1200 square foot garage and 3 empty bedrooms. 2 of us live there. My wife thinks we need a smaller house, but I think I just need more guitars.
As far as the blue 2 knobber, the OFC guitar will have to qualify. |
