First at $25K, then at $12.5k and now at $10k. I think i recall a picture of it at NAMM too?
Dungeon indeed.

Location: Omaha, NE | I seem to recall causing some hard feelings the last time this came around with my opinions of the quality of the airbrushing. My views haven't changed. My kids could do better. In particular, the perspective on AD's guitar is laughable, not to mention the whole "bullfighter on black velvet" look to it.
This thing is an embarrassment to anyone who appreciates Ovation guitars.
Just my opinion, of course. Worth precisely what you paid for it. |

Or, maybe that was a dream. |

I wouldn't hold my breath till that happens, it just ain't worth it. It's a paint job, period. You want to see something cool go over now and look at the Nielsen Monaco with the Sgt. Pepper paint theme, now that it realllllly special! |

Location: Waurika OK | I was in Bro. B's yesterday, it is not hanging on the wall. I guess I should have ask to see it. He does have a #47 reissue hanging, number 67.
Interesting to note he has also become a Hamer dealer and one of my guitar shop stops in Lawton, OK has also recently started as a dealer. Both on a limited number of guitars.
Hamers have not been well known here, but as people see the quality and playability they are beginning to get a good reputation. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yeah, I've got that broadcast on DVD. I think it is the one where Rick Hall gives a factory tour to Aaron Tippit. Or Maybe it's the Japanese documentary DVD. I forget. But I think you're right it is the same guy. Lucky him to be pictured on Rev. Roberts one of a kind paint pallet. Dave |
