As to the model number
I CAN ONLY SUPPOSE THAT THE R IS FOR ROLAND AND THE X AT THE END MEANS THAT IT'S EXPERIMENTAL. THE SERIAL NUMBER ISN'T A COMMON ONE. SO STOP YELLING AND HIT YOUR CAPS BUTTON.
We're in this together and trying to help. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Russ, the 87 is not the book guitar but the direct parent of them. The book has balony purfling on the peghead and a couple of other places. In thinking about what to put on the cover the 87 certainly came to mind but this was 8 years later so it was, "Let's go another step down this road and make it as much guitar as possible" |

the problem with ovation is that they are making more beautiful and desirable guitars than i can afford to have one each of. each time i cross one of my wish list i have already added 3 more. i need to join ovations anonymous amigo. |

| My favorite Collectors is the 2003. Simple but elegant with a nice purfling. And most of the ones I played sounded great. I believe its the first guitar to have inlayed Epps. Second to that is my Bosses 87 collectors with OUTRAGEOUS Bear claw . Doesnt even look like spruce.
OH BUT the 1983 has the best shaped necks!!!!!
W8 the 1986 is a gnarly guitar too!!! when its been shined by customer service.???
You know what I dont know what my favorite is . DANG!!!!! |

Location: SoCal | Heard some nice comments on the 2003...sad that there was so many offered as FRG's.
Not sure why - too many made? Anticipation of LX?
Good for the buyer of the FRG - very nice guitar for a low price. |
