Congrats!
I will settle for a simple Hefewiesen, squeeze of lemon. |

| "Whine-for-results mojo of yours!"
I think it was more in the way of "Threats-for-results."
The guy was obviously impressed by the amount of expertise in the choice of weapons available here. Just like guitars, everybody had their own personal favourite. Wood/aluminum, golf club/baseball bat/electric drill. Cliff even introduced the aesthetics of sound into the whole thing. I was deeply impressed. This is the board to come to for advice when you need it. |

if you need it, I have devised a wonderful torture method involving sour milk and a wire dog brush...oh and we could use that squeeze of lemon too...
It's yours if you want.
Good Luck, Bro. |

I'll settle for Ted Bundy. He was from around here anyway.
Just pisses you off, don't it? |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Paul, I'd certainly be happy to have the guitar, too!!!! But what happened to the case????? Every Ovation USA guitar is shipped with a case! Did the seller decide to "enhance" his profit margin by keeping the case and selling it separately? That would stink.....

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Hey guys,
Report is goona have to wait, till Friday. The guitar arrived and then I had to bug out on a short business trip, so it is sitting at my home, while I am 100 miles away. I had little time to do anything but tune it, and give a close inspection.
The fact that there was no case was a bit of a surprise. When I felt the wieght of the box, my heart sank...I could tell there wasn't even some Pizza box padding in there. When I went back to read the description for the millionth time, he did, in fact, NOT claim it would come with a case. Can't assume anything....I will work on getting a case for it, but it will be spending time in the stand anyway. |

Location: Tampa, FL | You might check out the TKL semi rigid cases with the Ovation Logo. I think our pal Al is looking into these and for a while there were some up on fleabay. I got one and, while not proof against WMD, I think it provides siginificant protection and they are superlight. YMMV |

I just bought a case from Al. When I went on to the Ovation Guitar site to make sure I was getting the right case, it said 9158-0...
which seems to be for both, mid and deep bowl models. I'm hoping the one i bought will work... |
