Location: New Hartford CT | Here's #2 of 4 from my late Dad's collection.
When my Dad obtained this guitar from Ovation he was told Kenny Rogers returned it for repair. I can only guess they gave Kenny a new one as this one sat at the factory for at least several years in an unrepaired state. The S/N dates it to 1981. When it became available Dad had the service folks fix it up as indicated on the repair order, dated 10-18-90.
I think he wanted it as a novelty; the guitar has essentially sat in its case for the last 21 years. I finally broke it out last week for a quick cleaning. Even with the old strings she sounds real sweet. When I re-string it I can change the battery and check the electronics.

Location: Texas | Appears to have Edgar Struble's name on it. He was with Kenny at that time.
You could contact him...he might remember it. |

Location: New Hartford CT | jay, that makes sense - I never understood why Kenny named his guitar 'Edgar' LOL
So I guess it wasn't one of Kenny's guitars after all.
You've got to know when to hold them and when to fold them. |

It is the tour logo and then the template, although separated, puts it in Struble's dressing room.
A beautiful guitar. |

Location: Texas | Geostorm; That's a Pacemaker, they are absolutely fabulous 12-string guitars! If it were mine, I'd put new strings on it, keep it out, and play it often. That guitar shouldn't be left hiding in a closet… |
