Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Just for fun, I wondered for immaturity's sake what Ovations people might have on their wish list. I don't really need to know reasons (though they might be interesting), but I have been mulling over shaking up my modest collection recently and wondering to myself what I would go in search of if I did.
So just for grins, in addition to what I own now, I would someday like to have:
A 1537 Elite
A Book Elite
A Book Mandolin
A Book Mandocello
I like Books
Any mandocello (I'm working on this though)
1984 Collectors
1987 Collectors (both colors)
1997 Collectors Wide Neck
1999 Collectors
2001 Collectors with center soundhole
2002 Collectors
2005 Collectors
2006 Collectors
Bit of a trend, I know
Lost Art Vintage Koa 12-fret
Angel Step Elite 6 and 12-string
Adamas u681t 6 and 12-string
30th Anniversary Custom Legend
Adamas 1680
Adamas w597 Cobalt Blue
Nakao Craftsman Elite
I think I'll stop there since my wife will be home any minute. She's not feeling well today, and if she sees this list it might just push her past her limits. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Good list. I'd add or have added a few. You need a Folklore, Josh White or FD-14 in there and a nylon string.
Why the 99 Collector? I have the only one registered on Dave's site and figured it wasn't too popular. I bought it for the looks and because it's red.
As far as red goes, I'd really like a #47RI. |

As far as nylons go, my Country Artist LX is everything I hoped it would be. I might buy another nylon, but I'm keeping this one.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is "Dave's Sight?" |

| My O wish list has gotten smaller.. and my collection has gotten smaller and more selective as well..
I have a minty factory rebuilt shiny 12, a factory rebuilt 1537, a custom classical elite, and a Q597, and for the time being a mob, and a Nakao, both currently for sale..
an FD14 and an 08 collectors would round the collection out nicely tho..
but the 08 alone costs more than my whole collection did..
maybe someday, but for now I'll enjoy the ones that I have, they are all very nice examples and I should appreciate the ones that I have more, and worry about the ones that I don't have or have sold less..

I could possibly do something about an upright bass, but shipping costs to Australia could well alter the economy in that part of the world. |

Maybe he could bring the upright bass back as carry-on luggage?  |

| I wish I did not have to wait for the customs I have ordered. I am also selling a great looking custom and I think I will either buy a brand new, Made in America, Fender Strat or Tele. I'll go to Al's VXT electric or One of those Hamer Walnut body's. I have to say those Hammer's really have turned my head.

Location: SE Michigan | I'd really like a couple of decent longnecks, one for me and one for Brad. Then we can get after those songs that we need to do in a lower key without changing the chord forms and the riffs.
That and it would be nice to have a 2080, but I really am pretty happy with the guitars I have now (a D28, a 1581 Adamas, and a mahogany strat delux HSS). |
