Location: SoCal | For those of you with #47's and the first OFC slotheads, how many of you take them out of the house and play them when playing with groups or while gigging? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I don't play with groups or gig, because of a lack of opportunity, but I took the OFC everywhere I've been since I had it and plan to do the same with the #47. |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | The #47 has been across the Pacific by boat twice, then on to your house for a spell and then the back of the station wagon across country. Yes, it has gotten out.
OFC I in the wagon from Virginia to a visit at Beggin's in South Carolina and down to Amelia. I drag it along on about half my road trips, the rest of the time one of the solid bodies and my MicroCube. |

Screw it, I think I'll buy a Collings for the campfire! |

Amen.
I remember hearing a story about Paul McCartney, an Ovation user for a couple of Wings tours. The story was that he wanted all his tour guitars financed by Ovation, and when refused, he stopped playing them in concert. Wonder if that's true.
Anyway, they sure are underrated lately. |
