Location: Phoenix AZ | Great deal on ebay. I don't know the seller but says it's brand new with warranty, non FRG. Must be a dealer. I've seen these sell for twice that price, and worth every penny. Moody has one and it's wonderful. Somebody please buy it before I look at it again.

Location: Athens, GA & Gnashville | I just got one of these and love it, also. The workmanship is superb. The playability and sound are great, too. I paid $370 more than this one is going for, and Al said I got a hell of a deal. This price is the best I've seen.
Moody made me do it!!
Aw go ahead Dave..... |

| Is the preamp in the 1627 re-issue interchangable with an orignal 1624? |

Location: SoCal | You can't put the new preamp in the hole of the old guitar. The new preamp is larger than the old one which is why it's moved further from the neck. If you want to put the new preamp in an older guitar, put it in the waist and plug the hole for the old preamp. The new preamp sounds lightyears better than the old one..... |

You have been whinning for days about dropping a wad on the Tak and to "STOP THE MADNESS" and then you snatch this one up.
You gonna cut Richardd a deal and send it down under? |

I believe our resident dick was trying to make the point that the newer p/a sounds better than the original, while hoping that using some pseudo-scientific term might add a smig of credibility to his claim. Dave |

The SoCal adoption agency doesn't have any room at the present time so he brought it into the Southwest branch. Didn't want to risk it ending up outside the OFC, too nice of a guitar and too good of a deal. He says it'll hold him over until his custom comes in. It's not a keeper and if it's a "must have" for anyone just contact him. I'd be happy to act as the go between. StandingO doesn't like to communicate directly with very many people these days.

| Well, anyway I'm just going to wait on the preamp that johnnycash is sending me, then I'm going to detail my 1624 and sell it to someone who appreciates it. Maybe I'm old-school Ovation, but they just don't make 'em like this anymore. It's always been an incredibly easy guitar to play and with the Savarez 520P's it's very bright and surprisingly loud for a mid-bowl. |

Location: Pewaukee, WI | I ordered a new preamp for my 78 1621 from John Budny. I had the volume only, and the one he sent is the concentric volume/tone. It fit a little differently, but looks good and sounds great. |

Heard lots of good things about this RI, I'm a big GC fan and there are zero avaliable here.
Now I've got a GC12'er on layaway until I move house in April and now this baby coming probably mid year.
....only problem is I have absolutely now idea what story/excuse/justification I'm gonna use |

"If you value our relationship so little that you'd let a silly guitar mess things up for us then you don't deserve me."
Just don't mention anything about where you got the idea, OK?
