This is that slow time between summer and Winter NAMM where every company keeps its lips tight on new gear. I'm sure there will be something exciting released at NAMM from Ovation, though. They've been pretty sneaky lately, haha.

Did he say something?

Guaranteed that nothing will be released that remotely challenges anything with the name "Fender" on the headstock, or in a catalog... or music store...

Competition is dead.

There used to be someone around here by that name. I don't think he posts anymore. Like Iffy.

I'd be interested to know what creative customs any members might have in the pipeline.

I have two custom rebuilds coming, one any time now, the other has been delayed but should be done in a month or two (I think).

As soon as they are in, I have an 87C that needs a new top. I'm going to try and time it for late Spring/early summer.

Ovation will be introducing a custom model with a hand carved balsa top, inlaid with rhinestones and skittles, handmade in foreign sweatshops by hairy little immigrants sitting on blankets.....oh wait. That's Blueberry Guitars....nevermind.

They just finished the custom Adamas that I won last year. (They had actually displayed it at last year's NAMM, but it wasn't quite finished.) I got the good word last week. It's finished, and they got it down to a T! (hehehe... oh, yes I did!)

Final pics (and video) soon.
