Maybe Episode III is more appropriate...

You can use that if you'd like.

Episode II is still available and still a bargain...

Location: Boise, Idaho		I couldn't tell if the one on ebay had the tortoise shell binding like ours do. It does have a 14 fret neck like version 2 does. Mine's finally starting to loosen up a bit, so the koa doesn't sound quite so hard.

The LAV has a slot-head... The new one is a paddle-head with that fugly ovation logo.
The LAV has a VIP... The new one has the OP-Pro.

Hey Al... Doesn't that infringe upon your design?
Are you getting Royalties?

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		I've tried about 12 different times to raise the funds for Al's LAV. But something always gets in the way. It doesn't help that as nice as it is, I really prefer the 12-fretter originals a bit more. It's all so very confusing!

Stupid GAS.....
