Location: Maryland, USA | Guys all I have to say is I'm REALLY sorry.
But I splurged on this guitar (greed) - and it wasn't an Ovation.
I was looking for an inexpensive acoustic (no longer for college, but to bring to high school), and was searching through some local guitar shops.
I soon played an Alvarez RD20S. This guitar had TONE. I was surprised it had such great bass and treble for an inexpensive guitar.
I later went on ebay and found the same model for $229(+$40 shipping), with the guitar refurbed and that came with a free case and strap. The seller had 700+ feedback at a rate of 99.9%, so I felt good about buying the guitar.
I promise, I'll buy an Ovation acoustic one of these days. I love the Viper though...after playing all these electrics, I appreciate what sound my Viper with the Dimarzio Super Distortion can offer up.
But for another year or two (god it pains me to say this), I won't be getting another guitar. |

The only Ovation I have is my Deacon, but this is such a great bunch of guys, I would be here if I didn't own any. :D |

Just be advised those guys are extraordinarily picky about who they want as friends over at that other site. When I applied they told me to try the pork chop around the neck trick a few more times - "...it's bound to work eventually" - yeah, right. At least here they talk to you! |

Oh yes, I forgot to mention it's a 12 string.
Another reason why I thought this would be a good buy.
I'll post pictures of it when it arrives. |

He likes Ovations, but ". . they slide off my lap . . "
- gives me an excuse to occasionally bitch-slap him . . .
Jeff;
A Fender acoustic is a "Nightmare" . . .
. . . a banjo is an anal rape gone bad . . . |

Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling |
