Merry Christmas!!

I have an Ovation solid body (Deacon). I'm looking to get an Ovation acoustic in the coming year. Any suggestions on a good choice of similar value? I'm not a collector or a professional, but I want a good quality (USA made) replacement for the solid body. I like the feel and action of the Deacon, so something with a cutaway and similar neck would be nice. I would rarely plug in, but would like an onboard tuner to make non standard tuning easier. It will be my only guitar, so I want to make it a good one.

You have a lot of very nice guitars on your website. In this economy, do you think I'd do better if I traded for an acoustic that fits the bill or should I sell then shop?

Make a trade if possible. Pick a couple you like on Al's site and start negotiating!

I'll start bugging him tomorrow...let him enjoy his Christmas. From the needs I described, what do you think would be some good models to keep an eye out for?

Some of the nicer Ovations on Ebay are either being sold by or bought by an OFC'er.

I might have some ideas for you.

I'm holding a 2178 and have a 1537 up for sale.

I also have a gorgeous LX'ish Redwood but unless you like to write big checks it isn't for sale, but it does fit your login name!

FYI I was able to upload some pics to the newer OFC Gallery (Deacon SF) Taken 12/27/08. I could never get photos to upload on the other gallery (Idiot that I am)
