Location: Texas | OK, these items are free of charge but only for the newbies..... ............meaning just new members.
Back in the day, there was an OFC store and other ways to get these and many other items like T-shirts, hats, pens, etc...
I have 5 OFC guitar picks and 2 OFC case tags that I will offer for free to new OFC members.
3 blue heavy picks, 2 white light picks and 2 new tags, please see photos.
BUT......1 item per person only.....and only if you are a real member, meaning that you have between 10 and 100 posts, no more, no less.
And in order to get 1 of these, you will need to answer one of these 7 Ovation trivia questions:
1. What is the ultimate Adamas guitar ever made? Please specify the well known nickname?
2. What model did John Lennon use as his main guitar for his last recording Double Fantasy? Name and model number?
3. Who was the country music star that had a TV show featuring him playing Ovation guitars week after week and what model did he play? Name and number.
4. Who was the well known blues player that had a 12 fret model under his name and what was the name model after that?
5. What Ovation model did Jim Croce play and what color was it?
6. The super trio of Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia toured the world with 2 Ovation guitars on stage, who played them and what models were they?
7. Who are the owners of the Ovation Fan Club?
Please answer the questions right here on these thread and first winner per question gets to choose one of the items.
I will contact via PM the winners and get their address to send their prize.
Thanks for playing and good luck.

Location: Texas | The correct answer about what is the ultimate Adamas ever made in my opinion it would be the original Adamas "Slothead" for obvious reasons, but seems like many members feel the "Ute" is it, so either question is correct.. |

Says who? I've played both. AJ's slothead and Schroeder's utes. Both sound great. The Utes are beautiful. The original Slothead is ugly. Ipso facto, in my opinion, the Ute's the winner. Others will disagree. That's OK. |

Well...I know it is Glen Campbell but I can't find the single guitar you're after. I've read numerous articles and posts here at OFC and they all seem to say that he played multiple Ovations. Here's one example http://www.ovationfanclub.com/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10...

So thqt is it for this contest, all the prices have been won and thanks for all that participated and commented on it, I hope you've learned something new about Ovation guitars and keep on picking. I play my old Legend everyday. |
