Location: Newington, CT | 2001 Collector's Edition...center hole. Purchased via eBay. Love it! Gorgeous sound. GREAT playability. (Plus: I owe youse guys about a million pictures)
Enjoy!
* First
* Second
* Third
* Fourth
* Fifth
* Sixth
Apparently the center-hole version was offered only overseas. Look at dweezil's site to see the American (I think) offering.
The sound: just gorgeous! Playability: off the charts (for me, that is)
Also: just the prettiest guitar I have ever seen.

Location: Newington, CT | I would like to direct your attention to the third picture and the sixth picture.
Notice that the center hole is slightly out of round (upper right-side). Anyone know why?
No objection, by the way...the guitar is just gorgeous and so is the sound. |

fyi, your first link is broken/typo.
you can post the pics into your posts by putting [ i m g ] URL [ / i m g]
(removing the spaces)
[fixed typo]
edit.. although, honestly, your server is pretty darned slow from the outside. you might be better off uploading to the social network ofc site, or flickr or photobucket, etc. |

Yep. You're right on the nose. I just haven't set up the flickr or photobucket things yet. |

P.S. She's nice looking too You're so right...sometimes I have to pinch myself that she deigns to be with me! I figured that if I said it more accurately -- as you did -- then she might take it into her head to leave me for a much more handsome (and rich?) lover. (as would be perfectly within her rights) |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I think these will go down as one of Ovation's best looking and sounding guitars. They have a tone all their own. And they can almost turn heads just sitting there in a closed case.
Here's mine visiting the factory.

I hope to have a matched set some day. They're such great guitars. Enjoy the heck out of it. |

I just ordered part of my birthday present from a Guitar Center in AZ today. Pray that their packing and shipping guy knows what he's doing and that I get the UPS courier who doesn't moonlight as the Samsonite Gorilla. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | There's nothing more gorgeous than heavy ribboned flame, usually more prevalent in maple, but gorgeous in cedar, too. I'm not sure I have ever seen a wider ribbon as on yours, AlanM, and I'll bet the pics don't do justice for the 3d depth of those ribbons as seen by the naked eye. Beautiful. |

It's funny...I can just stare at her for minutes at a time. And, yes, she plays really nice too!
Getting ready to name her. |
