I have a viper this color and would like to match it. http://cgi.ebay.com/1978-OVATION-PREACHER-PROMO-AD-STEREO_W0QQitemZ... llampton Posted 2006-01-26 11:06 AM (#331334 - in reply to #331333) Subject: Re: would like a red preacher like the one shown here Joined: November 2005 Posts: 19 Location: Traverse City, MI Any luck yet? How much are you looking to spend and what kind of condition guitar would you be happy with?

I would like one to match my viper. It is mint other than a recent chip of the laquer at the back peg. Price will depend on condition. edzep Posted 2006-02-05 8:37 PM (#331336 - in reply to #331333) Subject: Re: would like a red preacher like the one shown here Joined: December 2005 Posts: 111 OldLiverJones, I don't mean to taunt -- just want to share my own apparent good fortune. I have also been looking to get a red Preacher, or one of the more attractive UKII's. Lost out on a UKII a few weeks back, when it went for $995 on Ebay (discussed in the 'Creature Delux' thread). Tonight, during the Superbowl, a BIN popped up for this beauty, for $800. Sure, I'd like to have found one for less, but I fear they'll go for more, based on my recent observations. It was all I could do to read the entire posting and do a quick feedback check on the seller before mashing the button. If everyone else hadn't been watching football, I might not have had that much time. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Ovation-Preacher-Like-Les-Paul-SG-Excl-... I'll surely post back later -- hoping it's as advertised and I'm a happy camper. stephent28 Posted 2006-02-05 10:53 PM (#331337 - in reply to #331333) Subject: Re: would like a red preacher like the one shown here Joined: April 2004 Posts: 13303 Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 Nice grab. I am sure you will love it! edzep Posted 2006-02-05 11:06 PM (#331338 - in reply to #331333) Subject: Re: would like a red preacher like the one shown here Joined: December 2005 Posts: 111 Thanks, Stephen. I had liked the look of the Preacher in your album, but noted that you had sold it. I would have preferred a later one like that, with the all-metal bridge. But, the one I got would have been new as I was graduating high school, so it a nice age marker. I haven't seen any posts explaining preferences and benefits of the older vs all-metal bridges. Any thoughts?

If I had come across it first, I would have bought it. Curse the BIG GAME in Detroit.
