Location: Chehalis, Washington | I had a brilliant and probably costly idea to get an '05 Collectors in the hands of my Dad as a late Father's Day, early birthday, Christmas, and "congratulations on your wedding last year" present.
Anyone have a lead on where to find one? Must be absolute MINT condition, preferably NOS if available.
Thank y'all kindly! |

They've had one up high on the wall at the Guitar Center in Tigard, Oregon (just outside of Portland) for as long as I can remember. No sales tax in Oregon! You might give them a ring if you can't find one online. Not sure what they're asking for it.. I try not to spend much time there. Good luck! |

Location: SoCal | Only reason I would sell is to buy the 2006C that Al has...but I don't discount...no warranty, as new for $1,300 plus shipping. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | Thanks. I'll try them. The local Ted Brown store in Tacoma had one for a while - not sure if they still do. Guess I'll be making some calls tomorrow. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Not sure of my concall schedule for the next couple of days, but if they still have it and you are interested, let me know and I can go inspect it for you or pick it up for you. Shoot me a PM if I can help. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | I spent many years working remote support out of a support center located in Beaverton. Typical conversation while we were waiting for a system to reboot or a crash dump or whatever:
Customer: So, where are you located?
Me: Oh, we're in Beaverton, Oregon
Customer:
Particularly the Brits. That was always popular with the Brits.
The Tigard/Beaverton line these days is right down the middle of Scholls Ferry. I always mix up the Scholls Ferry and Greenburg Road exits in my mind. So when I'm trying to go to GC, I end up at CompUSA, and visa versa. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My sister in law refused for years to admit she lived in Beaverton. I've been in the GC many times, but don't recall seeing a 2005. Maybe I just didn't recognize it. Bought an am there a couple years ago and tried out a used Custom Elite last time I was there, but I thought they wanted too much for a well used SSB. |

Hey, Stephen, feeling a little blue? The GC in Beaverton apparently has two of them... ;)
By the way, what ever happened to Sally? She hasn't posted in months, come to think of it? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Andrew, you ought to move on this before the weather in Alaska make shipping risky. The Ute I got from AFG is perfect and I'm sure his 05 has also been well cared for. |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Mark in Boise-Thanks for the vote of confidence. This 2005 is in perfect condition. No issues what so ever. I have promised to whittle down the "collection" to 1 of each "type" of guitar and "if" I am to keep only one Ovation, it will be my 1760 ADII. |
