Any opinion? The only Ovation I own currently is my WIP Deacon. I'm wary to begin with of an ad selling a guitar with no pictures. Anyone have one of these? Is the price reasonable? |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | Melmoth, if you're serious about a Custom Legend (and don't mind a shallow bowl), I still have a beautifully refinished 1869 in Cherry burst that I'm looking to sell. Awesome finish, incredible tone, and great electronics (OP24). Interested?

Location: Upper Left USA | If you buy it now you can get delivery prior to Oct 31! This may be very important! Talk to Andrew/Edensharvest about his adventures...
It is an outstanding guitar and would be superb on any stage. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Mel, if I had found this board before I tried to get my wife to buy me a Celebrity for Christmas a few years ago, I probably would have tried for something a bit more upscale. She didn't buy me the Celebrity anyway and I've been retaliating ever since, hence the list below. |

Location: Fairfax, VA | This has given me a lot to think about. I think I'm going to put off making a purchase for now, stock up on cash for 6 months or so and start looking for an Adamas. Anyone know a store in the DC/VA metro area that has Adamas in stock? I'd like to play a few in the interim.

Location: closely held secret | Mel, if you could attend the OFC SE gathering in GA Oct 14, I'm sure you would have a chance at trying out several. |

Location: Fairfax, VA | I'd love to, but my wife has an appointment with her tattoo artist that day to start working on a new backpiece. Maybe we'll get down to the next gathering, though. |
