Location: Boise, Idaho | You don't need strings if you spend all your time on this site. We had another Spanish member. I think he went by "Dude". Too bad you weren't around when I was there a couple years ago. I needed an Ovation fix, but had to settle for $15,000 classical and flamenco guitars. |

Welcome. I don't know much Spanish like these other guys ... all I can say is sangria, paella, tapas, and lladro. Oh yeah, and hola señorita. |

Madrid - Spain - South Europe or north africa as some french member will say :)
I have been reading the forum in the shadows for a month or so, I know the kind of people that gathers around here...and it is great to be one of you!
I must say I am a very GAS prone person. The ovation makes #7 of my six string family.... It made it directly to the top of my favorites.
And about the OFC gathering in Spain...give a little time to get some cash to pay the sangria... I have just paid an Ovation!!! |

You've landed a good one for your first O; lots of good advice, great folks, and everything you'll ever need to know about Ovations can be found here--and the inmates generally are medicated enough that you can't tell them from the population at large. ;) :D

Location: Madrid | Just removed the old strings, put some lemon oil to the fretboard, lowered the action, cleaned the body a bit with guitar polish, changed the strings to D'Addario J26 (11-52), adjust the truss rod and .....tune and play! |
