in my Neighborhood for 8-9 month and NO one wants it. If I had the funds I'd probably look into it. |

(If I remember correctly) And I've seen the word "Firm" a couple of prices b/4. |

Oh, and I'm really more interested in why no one is interested in this. If I were, I'm not really
at a point were I could. Not a big deal! :) |

But now is not necessarily the best of times.
But good luck with that.
[Been unemployed 21 months and I have two checks left to go unless someone extends something :p ] |

Location: Vernon CT | Thanks for any and all advise, but, has ANYONE either owned or atleast played this guitar? I've done a search and it appears to be one of the least talked about, played and owned Ovation and I am curious WHY? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I haven't played a 94, but it's probably a nice enough guitar. It's unique feature at the time was that it was the first mid-depth bowl in a center soundhole and it had a forward slanted saddle. And they put a little fancier wooden rosette on it. Other than that it's indistinguishable from the thousands of other mid depth center holes that came after it. Nice, but not very exciting (at least to me). |

Thanks for any info. |

Location: Munich, Germany | I have one and love it. For the looks and the sound. It's my wood top that sounds the most woody of them all.
But taste is different. Charlie (Ramon) wasn't too impressed.
By the way, the 94 sported the introduction of the Optima Preamp. And it has a brown bowl, if that's interesting for you.
You can see it in my sig.
Best regards,
Kurt |

Having owned several SSB's and deep bowls, to me, my Artist and 82 Legend seem like Mid bowls. Just wondering if there's a big difference between those and the 90's "mid-depth". |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yeah, I think that's about right.
1966 - Deep bowl
1970/71 - Shallow
1983/84 - Supershallow
1994 - Mid
2005 - Contour |
