Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The news release is dated January 24th. Didn't we just read somewhere that the '08 Adamas Collectors edition is sold out? Does that mean no more at the factory, but maybe still available at the dealers? |

| Man that Collectors is a great looking guitar, and the fact that it is a Carbon Fiber top, Slothead, Cutaway, with fantastic looking binding and the newest electronics. My head is turned. |

His is just spectacular. |

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | What I am wondering about is :..Will Fender build an Ovation Amp.?.., after all , they have the expertise , and , design/build their own , unlike others , who appoint some company to make one and then put their name on it , I know they allready have ( Fine ) acoustic amps. , but one that would fit the Ovation A/E like a glove , in *Ovation design* :p , I could be interested !.. :)

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | Well , I am glad that it was Fender that took over , I see it like this , Ovation stands for Innovation with the A/E guitar ( no pun intended , just a simple fact ) , but so does Fender , just with the E guitar AND Amps. , now that could be Complementary , just look at their Acoustic amps. , compared to the competition , who come with the same " recipies " , class A amp. , 2 or 3 way speaker systems , yada etc. , but the ACOUSTASONIC amps. are a total different breed , Innovative and second to none , I could imagine ( hope ) that Fender will take it a step further , now , at last , that they have a Decent A/E to drive their , dare I say Magnificent amps., this could/will be a Challenge to their exellent know -how , Not to be taken lightly , for such knowledge could produce A/E amps. of Superb Quality for an Affordable fee , having aquired the ( imho ) BEST A/E guitar in the world , this will be no small feat to accomplish , but I`m Confident , that if Any one is up to the task , then Fender is the one to do it..I hope they will Capitalize on the opportunity :)

Location: SoCal | Let us not take anything away from Genz Benz...very well respected on this board. LostArtVintage had (maybe has) some great deals on the amps.
I have the Shenandoah 100 but the SHEN-PRO that I saw at NAMM look very nice. PRESS RELEASE
Stereo 60 looks good

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I picked up a Genz Pro a while back from Al. Wow! The blue glow from the preamp tube shows through the faceplate grill. Very cool. There is also a very quiet fan that blows from the back through the chasis and out the front. I've been using this amp in the bandroom exclusively since it arrived two months ago. |
