Only in Ovation Nation can you play with a Tornado or a Thunderbolt and not get hurt or killed (well, the wallet would get killed)...

Only in Ovation Nation does a flatback acoustic feel weird...

Only in Ovation Nation does an Ovation have more wood than low end Martins and Taylors (or Composite Acoustics and Rainsongs)...

Only in Ovation Nation can you wear a Pacemaker on the outside of your body....

Your turn!

Only in Ovation Nation do people know who Maury Muhliesen was.

Only in Ovation Nation can you take two guitar names and come up with the start of a really bad joke: A Preacher and a Deacon walk into a bar...

Only in Ovation Nation are the names Matrix and Magnum not merely titles of a movie and TV show.

Can you play the guitar of the GODS (McLaughlin, DiMeola) while even Olympus seems to have forgotten! Every gig I hear THAT sound and wonder: why has it been forsaken on High?

a guitar player's "eli eli lama sabachthani?"

(I think I'm confusing my traditions here....)

Only in Ovation Nation can you say the word "Mothership" without people thinking you are an alien.
