Location: Keller, TX | OK, sold the Adamas. Got the new toy. I picked this up from Mike Stevens. He had brought it to the Texas OFC. I love the sound (pretty much all Ovations). It is a new 2005 Custom Elite LX in the New England Burst.
Funny, Ovation doesn't list NEB as a color choice on the C778LX, only Black Cherry Burst. Any ideas on that one?

I was on FW Guitar Center Wednesday. I think they have the same model (was high on the wall and I didn't get it down...)
Enjoy! |

| I've just had another look at the picture - it's beyond drop-dead gorgeous. It's Penelope Cruz with strings. |

At last year's Tour, I was looking at a bunch of these bodies fresh from the spray booth in the drying racks . . . . just gorgeous!! |

Man, jealosy is such an ugly thing.... |

Location: Keller, TX | Thanks for all the praises. I saw the 1778LX in Black Cherry Burst and the 6778LX in the NEB at GC. I didn't really like them there. The spotlights they had in the acoustic room made them look too orange.
But under normal lighting, especially with the Abalone trim, it looks amazing. Yes, it is prettier in person.
Sounds great too. |

Not at all.
