Location: South of most, North of few | The UK II just arrived from Oklahoma City that Damon originally posted here, and all I can say is I'm overwhelmed. It's in better condition than even the salesman said it was, included all hang tags, owners manual, warranty registration card, and stereo cord in the original case which is also in great shape. Everything works and it sounds heavenly. What a GREAT guitar. Thanks Damon for posting this one! I'll get some pics up after I get a chance to clean her up a little. |

Enjoy it. I've had mine now for 28 years. I have a funny feelin' that probably won't be the case with yours :D |

Real nice oblique critique... :rolleyes: |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | With TJ getting into electrics lately, I'd be willing to bet this will be one he'll keep. The UKII is, in my opinion, the very best electric guitar Ovation ever made, and one of the best ever made by anyone. (But if you ever do decide to sell, keep me in mind. :D ) |

Or is it just Falstaff mispelled? |
