Good tone, even for an Ovation?
Hope he eats it. |

I hope that guy is in a flood and has to use it for a paddle and it saves his life. Then he may strum a different tune! |

Location: NC | I sent this guy an e-mail as to tact and his offensive listing to those who cherish their Ovations. He will either e-mail me and bash me or take it to heart. I just felt the need to contact him over this matter............and yes, I was very diplomatic. |

This would put you in a minority of one on this board. |

Location: Upper Left USA | The definition of a Diplomat is someone that can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will pay double for the ticket and still look forward to the trip!
I have also learned that you can say whatever you want about a person as long as you follow it with "Bless their heart" or "And I mean that in a nice way". |

Location: NJ | In NewYork, the definition of "Diplomat" is:
The relative of some muckety-muck from some ThirdWorld shithole who was given a post at the UN (along with the special license plates that allows him/her to park/drive in any friggin' fashion they please, whilst being COMPLETELY immune to any and all rules/laws that the rest of us have to abide by).
I flip them the "eagle" at every chance I get.
(Perhaps I should work for the State Dept. . . .) |

Location: NC | The guy responded as follows:
I guess if everybody is so sensitive it won't sell. I own 5 Ovations. I
drag them everywhere. I have heard so may insults that I don't even count them
and I shrug them off. Too bad the Ovation owners association doesn't have a
sense of humor. But thanks
Dave Ewing
There are 3 types of people in the world, those that can't count and those
that can
I guess if he is a owner he just chooses to joke about the guitar to those who may be teetering on whether to buy one. Oh well, I guess each has their own approach to selling. Mine is bringing out all the good things it has to offer rather than focusing on any negative. But wait a minute...................O's have no weakness to me other than the hypnotic state I go into while looking at them as it screams,"Buy me.....buy me!" Which I either look away real quick or succomb to it's power!
Well, I wish him luck his tact is something different than what I use. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think its great the guy has a sense of humor. There was a Martin for sale last week that had the back smashed. They guy listed it as an "el kabong" guitar. I thought that was pretty cute. |

Location: NC | I really could care less as to how he does it...................I also am a framer and use tact to sell my custom frames and matting. I just would like to see the guy use some salesmanship to be able to be successful in the sale.
Like I said, if he's in a flood and has to use as a paddle, hope it saves his life! |
