I want to build a little suspense here! Over the next couple of days I want to offer up some Ovation related trinkets which can be bid on. The outcome of this is to spend the funds gathered on a Christmas Gift for a certain OFC Member.

They don't know it's them. Some have some clues but won't let on (RIGHT GUYS!). No, it's not my Latte fund...

Just trust me and bid generously. Feel free to email, IM or post your bid. Minimal harassment within the Slipkid Manifesto is encouraged! Competition is greatly encouraged!

And have fun.


Stay tuned...

Careful with that end Jason... it may be loaded!

Here we go...

First up is a solid Ebony Key Fob with Mother of Pearl inlaid Ovation Logo. These were gifts from the Factory to touring Dealers some years ago.


Be the envy of all!

Jason, That is a gracious bid and knowing of Woody, the money is for a good cause.

What Woody isn't telling you, is that this key fob is the size of a standard headstock. It was used at the Factory so the key to the restroom didn't get lost.

$30.00... Jason, you must really want it!

Ok Woody... if you sell it to Jason @ his $30 bid, I'll match the amount for your Friend's Christmas Gift Fund. This way, we get to move on and see your next item. Hurry up and decide before the eggnog wears off... this is a fifteen minute offer.

please do not post bids here. we are not an auction site and it could make complications for us.
If you want to run an auction do it on e bay or privately on your own web page or via e mail.

there are very specific rules and regulations regarding auctions and I although I think it is a great idea I do not want to spend the holidays in jail because of some violation of interstate commerce.

BTW - Both Noah and Dave - those were some of the best comebacks I've heard on this board in a long time!

Jason gets the Ebony Fob!

Stay tuned until I get it cleared with Ed McMahon. :p Lets let the rest of the world wake up.

Thank you Al.
Sorry if I stirred your morning coffee.

Next is a small collection of Ovation Factory Tour Goodies with a little Local Tacoma Factory thrown in:




Four each 2004 and one 2006 Tour Coasters with a Tin featuring a gold Ovation Logo. Supplementing are two Tacoma Guitar coasters.

These are laser etched onto Spruce and Mahogany respectively.

A must for the true Collector!

Now let me go clean out my Profile so you all can IM me!

Al, why do they call it "the Pokey"?

Let's let the coasters coast until I get home tonight and the after-dinner surfers can get a look. It stands at 50 Clams...

Next up courtesy of a Member in Florida is a Gold One Piece Schaller Bridge with posts.

OK, life is full and I got a bright shiny sinus cold for Christmas it seems. :(

First the disclaimer: I am not a Stalker.

Next up: Here are some guitar picks that were sent to me some time back when the subject of leaving picks strewn about the house came up. CWKII offered a handful to who wanted them, and since I don't have a life, I jumped in. Most of those have been given away but these remain.



Now the Teal one I have been carrying around for a while. Kind of a cool OFC connection thing.

If the email was signed it would be worth $.50 more of course!!!

Enjoy!

Ahem...

Bidding for the 12 string starts at $2500.00!!! Cuz I like it!

I have the letter/envelope the picks came in but posting it with the return address would encourage too many of you potential stalkers. The email came later.

Cliff seems to be a lot better at this than I am, he gets whole guitars when he visits! :D

Dave, I'm sending you a little something extra for your generosity.

Remember, this is fun!

I'll bid..

standard control layout or what you got?
one of your pre-production models? or? I've got a nice looking viper coming along.. I can work around/with something you've already built.

I was hoping that W2 would make it in to add some plot.

...or at least to look around and try to remember how many guitars went to Rancho del Cliff. ;)

Is this the semi annual North South trek?

OK, Jason gets the Picks! Now I have seen these on ebay go for around $6-$10 each plus shipping so hang on to them!

It ain't over until Jason says its over!
Here is a precious piece of Adamas history!

It is a proto for what they might have done with the back piece on the Adamas, and most likely , Slotheads.

It has no purpose anymore therefore it must be a prized collectible piece, right?
It reads "Studio Master Series".




It came from the stash of stuff Samova unloaded about a Year ago. Anyone know more about this?

The cost is covered and it is your Christmas Present.

Merry Christmas Jason!

Jason, next time I'll pay your Air Fare to my next Garage Sale! :)

So be it, will ship some stuff today.

I believe that Noah had it correct in a correspondanse to me, this was to cover an access hole for truss rod adjustments (Kaman Bar) but it would have been structurally wrong to put a hole in the bowl that close to the heel mount. As we now know, the back access hole is the window to the Multi-hole's innerds.

Somewhere there may even be a proto body that was used!

Like Walter Cronkite said it, "You were there"!

Woodrow, you've got a ton of stuff I'd like to have. I just regret that finances require me to abstain. Good going, though.

Jason, does this spending spree mean that the eye trouble didn't ruin you altogether, as feared? How is that going?

I think I know what Miles is digging for so if he finds it maybe we can consolidate or offer a Second Chance or something.

Here is the "String Fling" promotion Frisbee and String Package. This is missing the 3rd string package as well as the strings. Let me throw in a set of EXP 11 80/20 Bronze Lights, .012-.053.

I'm adding an item to the auction. An original piece of Jas art that I drew nearly 20 years ago. It's a black and white portrait of legendary blues harp player Sonny Terry, in pen and ink and airbrush. PM me an offer, and I'll let you know what the high bid is. After a couple of days I'll reveal the winner, unless bidding dies earlier. This is also for Woody's belated secret Christmas present. Image is approx. 17 x 27 inches on Crescent no. 100 heavy illustration board.



Here's a detail of the pen work:

Thanks, Jeff, but to be completely honest, I copied this image straight from a famous photo of Sonny (and changed the shirt). I did it a long time ago, but I still think the pen work is technically good. Some of you can remember the good old days of the oft-clogging Koh-i-noor rapidographs.

My kids think my obsession is harmless and they contribute to it in small amounts. My wife puts up with it and occasionally gives in by buying guitar hangers or the 30th Anniversary CL. I think she'd draw the line if I tried to tell her some Ovation item was her Valentine's present. I have a brother who thinks I should sell all my guitars and donate the proceeds to charity. I think he needs mental health care.

Captain - the package posted yesterday.

Thank you one and all for your patience and your patronage!

I had fun!
I made some money for a cause which will be revealed in a few weeks perhaps!
I cleaned up some clutter!
I made Al nervous!

I don't which was more enjoyable!

That is too much! I know the Owners of Natte Latte. The pink skirts are a bit over the top but I understand the competition is tough in "the Buzz Biz".

For the uninformed - Historically the darker the Barista's outfit and the more piercings or "tats" they have, the better the coffee. Then the "Preppy" wave, like Natte Latte's pink skirts - like totally crewed by Cheerleaders (see, they are employable!). I knew the crew when they were babies...

So, enter the "lingerie era"! I can see myself getting smacked upside the head for having one of their cups in my pickup! LOL
