What did they think would happen?
BTW-- No more Adamii at Apple Music in Portland either...
There was always one or two at good prices. |

Location: Tennessee | Catalog? What's a catalog? Oh, that's right. How quaint. Does anyone read those anymore?
Drag your aging carcass into the 21st Century and try this:
Musician\'s Friend WEBSITE for Ovations
It's marketing. I suspect not many of Ovation's target market are catalog readers, so it would be a waste of money for Fender to buy advertising space in the MF or any other catalog. |

And that place is in a little wicker basket right next to the.... ummmmm... thinking throne. |

Location: cincinnati, ohio | Haven't seen ads for "O's" in many guitar magazines lately either. Oh, that's right - "Acoustic Guitar" is about it for acoustic guitar magazines.
*sigh!* God, I miss "Guitar World Acoustic." And "Frets..." |

Location: SoCal | Now that I'm back in the workshop, I can make you a wall mount for your iPad and you can replace your wicker basket altogether.
Once installed, the iPad sits flush with the wall. A retractable flexi-Shaft allows the iPad to be pulled out and positioned for optimal hands-free reading. Your iPad can provide unlimited access to online catalogs and unsubscribing from all those paper catalogs will help reduce your carbon footprint. |

Sent just a few minutes reading some Musicians Friend reviews.
Of the few I read, I came across 3 that gave glowing reviews, then, when asked if the use the item they answered.... "no".

Location: Paris/France | Here's the new Ovation french ad found in a music shop's catalog a week ago.
Believe me or not but there was not an Ovation guitar for sale in this catalog!! :eek:
Fortunately, some Ovation models produced in Asia are available on their online shop...

Location: Tennessee | The independent guitar superstore in San Jose has a pile of Ovations pretty much across the line, when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Last time i was in there before i saw them sell a woodtop Adamas and a new 1687. The store also had a lot of Guilds from New Hartford, which compete with ANYthing in the store. They carry all of the majors, but seem to have a particularly good relationship with the KMC people, so they have lots of KMC product line. They also had an early Legend that was very nice for sale at a fair price, if anyone is interested. It's a good one. |
