Location: Phoenix AZ | OK, get the darts ready. I don't know why I even post this stuff. But this is my newest guitar and I LOVE it. Yeah, yeah, I know you can buy an Ovation that kicks it's ass for 1/3 the price. Sure, whatever ...
For those interested this is an OM-42 with 1-3/4 neck, rosewood back/sides, gold weaverly's, double bound neck, gloss everything, plenty of inlay work, fishman eclipse blend electronics.
Yes, I still love Ovation and Adamas more then ever. But this was a guitar that I could not pass up.

Actually Dave, I don't think anyone here resents your asundry affairs. If you've got the mula to spare, more power to you. Just don't forget the protection.
Remember, Ovations are forgiving but be sure and clean up before you go home. |

Not to steal your thunder (yeah, like I could ever do that :rolleyes: ), but I may have a non-Ovation purchase of my own to reveal here within the next 24 hrs or so. It's a guitar I've lusted after all my life and it may finally be within my reach as of tomorrow. I've already gotten the blessing from my spousal unit to place the order, so all that's left now is to call the dealer in the morning and git 'er done... Stay tuned.
In the meantime, enjoy that OM, Dave; she's gorgeous! |

It's no dread, but volume and projection is very good. Much better than the Howe, which is a small 00 body and skinny neck (although the Howe has a lot of mojo).

I want to thank you for your diverse instrument interests. That is a well decorated instrument. I still don't like pickguards but I would love to play it.
I'll also thank you for being fully clothed when you photograph reflective objects using flash.
You take excellent photos. What set up are you using? |

It's a red "Ludwig" T-shirt. Setup? Who knows. I put the guitar on a stand on the back patio, I use a Casio EXZ-40, no flash, point and CLICK.

She's staying through Friday am. Bill says there is a some kind of bluegrass deal on Mondays and a songwriting contest on Wed. eve. They announce some topic a few weeks in advance and you write something. We're gonna give it a go.

Location: 6 String Ranch | Dave, The topic that week is "Fast or speed" a pretty wide open subject. This week is Trains and there will be a lot of train songs. Debanjo Rheinhardt is visiting from North Carolina and is going to play a little guitar and banjo for me on mine. Pam Turner is playing bass also. Then Steve(aka Debanjo) is settin in on guitar with Davis Turner. Should be a good week |

The other half (with digital) is getting close enough and not relying on a digital zoom.
The other half is knowing how to properly hold the camera STILL while you're shooting.
Hey, Dave!
Would you mind picking me up a FriskyMermaid t-shirt when you're down there?? (I saw 'em on their WebPage) We can hand-off & I'll reimburse you when you come out for the Tour.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it.
(I'll leave it to your good judgement on the level of "risque" on the shirt;-) |
