Location: Saginaw, MI | I listed a 30th anniversary edition on ebay recently, and someone from the forum told me about it. I had never heard of it, and have been an ovation lover for 30 years at least. In any event, I am selling a recent acquisition after learning the hard way that my carpal tunnel and a deep bowl don't go well together. The URL is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&item=110023385... Thanks to anyone interested. Del. |

Glad you found the site. Sweet guitar guys (based on the ebay pics). I am trying to convince him to take my W597 as trade, but my wife was not receptive to another acquisition after the last two. |

Location: PDX | you guy's think you have problems.
Boy did i get an earful of anti-gas ranting after Sheri saw the whole damn house filled with guitar cases. And here i thought it would work the other way. That being, after she saw some of the guys unload more guitars out of their cars than i own, there would be room for a few more in my future -- female logic, go figure.

Location: Saginaw, MI | Wow, I didn't mean to start a problem domestically! My wife tolerates the t-shirt a friend bought me: "Love one woman, and many guitars." I would point out she owns more blues harps than I do guitars, but she would probably bring up something irrelevant like the price difference! Del. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Del, you didn't start anything. This has been a recurrent theme since I've been on the board. I doubt I started it, but I may have. Greg, I thought that showing my wife that there were people way more nuts than me would help my cause, so I paid a visit to Dave, back in the good old days when he was Standing Ovation. She didn't even want to go in his house. When I showed her pictures, she was only impressed by the fact that he had "blue ones" and I didn't. I took that as permission to buy at least one Adamas, but I got sidetracked when I bought the Ute.
I thought the house full of guitar cases was almost as cool as the parking lots full of Porsches I saw the week before. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | I pointed out to my wife that my guitar collection is way cheaper than an italian sports car; way, WAY cheaper than a girlfriend - and I can play it in church. It didn't necessarily make her happy about it, but at least she put the gun up. |

I need to get my W597 sold, so perhaps ebay is the next step. Seems to have worked for you. |
