I know that Kurt has been suffering 12 string GAS pains (which means the whole family suffers too!) for a while now. This one should solve that... for a week or two!
Yipeee! |

Location: SoCal | The 1158 and 1658 (a/e version) are gorgeous in the natural or dark sunburst, both in appearance and "voice".
If the guitar is as advertised, it is a great deal. |

Location: closely held secret | Is that body closer to a parlor style, or is it just the bridge being lower making it look that way to me? |

Location: SoCal | It's a full size Ovation body. The bridge is closer to the center of the lower bout because it's only 12 frets to the body. |

Location: closely held secret | I saw it was a 12 fret, Paul... :rolleyes:
That's why I was wondering if the bridge being lower was what was making the body look narrower. Or it could be the age of my eyes. |

Location: SoCal | Beautiful brown deep bowl...and it is a boomer.
My first ovation was a 1158. Could easily overpower the other guitars and singers.
They kept me to play softer, even without a pick. Or, were they trying to tell me something else? :confused: |

Yes, I've been suffering from a bout of 12er GAS for sometime, and this one seems like a great opportunity to own a relative cousin to my FD14...slotted headstock, 12th fret-1 &7/8" neck, goo-goo inlay, deep bowl, AAA grade american solid-top - all the bells and whistles that make the FolkLore D' the "Chosen One" of the 6ers.
I've got a spare pre-amp and battery box, and Kim's shipping me a Piezo-Saddle to convert to the 1658 version. I think Woody will be able to hear this one from his house even with the windows shut.
Saint Nikko promised it in the stocking on Christmas Eve...January should see a couple NOS Preachers arise from the workbench at Rocky Creek Farm, with many thanks to Sam, Miles, Kim, Woody & Moe!
May Y'all find the Reason for the Season to overflowing this year and beyond. Here's to Health, Humble Happiness & 4-Part Harmony~ ;) |

Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | So far...it sounds alot like the wind and the rain in the trees!
Seems as though the Sleigh got derailed over Wilwaukee when Blitzen had an adverse reaction to some fast-food in Lansing (what a bummer to be harnessed behind him, eh!)
Anyway - I guess the holiday shipping schedule has delayed the arrival 'til first part of the week...I'll post some feedback & pic's as soon as I break myself away...
Thanks again for all your kind words of approval - sorta makes me feel like Mom approves of the girl I brought home for her to meet!
Don't tell anyone, but I am Sooo excited to fully relish this GAS attack...It's been long considered and well communicated with peers and the CFO. Many thanks again for all my scouts and consultants - from cwk2 & standing O to Kim, Al, Sam & Dr. Woody.
Many Blessings to All (clip-clop-clip-clop!) and to all a Good Night!...><>...><>...><>... :D |
