Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | I have become frustrated with Ovation's lack of historical material on their new website. I don't fault them for the updates, I just wish that info was still available SOMEWHERE.
So, my question, and I warn you it may be incredibly naive.
Could this website obtain the old history and archive pages from Ovation and set them up here in the reference section? |

www.ovationtribute.com
It is the official unofficial Ovation-ipedia without a doubt.
I think FMIC needs to endorse his work! |

Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | I am aware of Jerome's site as well as Dave's, but neither are the same as the old Ovation archive (discontinued models) section for ease of quick info. |

| The discontinued guitar archive from the old Ovation website can still be accessed from The Wayback Machine . This is the Ovation site 2 iterations ago (mid 2005). I haven't found an archive of the last iteration that links deeper the initial Archived Guitars page. This mid-2005 archive lacks many of the pictures of the discontinued guitars, but most of the information on them is there. |

Location: Atlanta, GA. | A good number of the old Ovations are archived here on their new site. Tho, I'm sure it's not complete.
There's even a link to their history pages. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Since we are complaining... The new format does not include bowl depth.
I was just looking-up an Ultra 1527, and it does have it listed... Just not the bowl size.
I gotta agree with Fletcher that I miss the old Archive.
(But we used to complain that it was not complete either) |

Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | G8r, The wayback site is great - thanks for posting that link!!
Just to be clear, I didn't really mean to be complaining about the new Ovation site - I simply missed having that old info at my fingertips.
But no one has actually answered my question; could those old pages be obtained and set up here in the reference section? I don't know how that wayback site actually reproduced the old info, but couldn't a newer version of that be done here? WE could then make it complete. Or I should say, we could make suggestions and SOMEONE could make it complete. |
