I thought it was funny to organize this contest and
the more I will get replies, the more I'll be happy. ;)

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

If it's a success, I'm thinking to do it again in the future with other nice prizes to win.

Good Luck!!

Stupid question...

Do you have to answer all questions correctly to be eligible to win? :rolleyes:

Thanks for this Jerome. What a great (and generous) idea!

BTW, these miniature guitars are very cool. I've got the red adamas one and the detail is phenomenal.

This is generally the principle of a contest and if someone can not answer these three questions, not sure he is interested by Ovation. :D

29 competitors to date and only correct answers. ;)

You could have made it harder, such as how do you pronounce "Bill Kaman" (have to get both right)

You should have a separate winner in each Country, so you'd have worldwide attendance!

Ah hell, I just saw this today.
I think this is a really cool Idea Jerome, Thank you once again my friend for doing something like this and your site.
Are you accepting any pictures of guitars, I have a few I'd send...

I threw in my entry today too.

That last question was tricky. I seem to remember an ad with Clapton in it but I think he was just promoting the new Legend line.

All the pictures of O's are welcome!!
I'm in vacation for a week so I'll have time to update the site as I'm very late like always...

I never saw a picture of Eric Clapton with an Ovation in hands but for sure there's no E.C Ovation signature model!!
Even the drawing Ad from early 70's you're talking about was surely reproduced from a Guild guitars Ad photo.
I made a montage with the 2 pictures side by side... :eek: ;)

And the winner is .....

Jonmark Stone !!!

Congrats Jonmark, I'll send the miniatures ASAP.

If you all agree, there will be another contest in the next days but this time, I'll try to find harder questions (but not too hard...).

Thank you all for your participation, I get more than 130 replies and only 2 were wrong.
Isn't it Beal?? :D :D ;)

On behalf of a well known preacher I demand more transparency.

How many entered? Who picked the winner? Why didn't I win?

I will be demanding answers in a couple of weeks when I see the "organiser".
