Location: Key West, FL | First, let address an area of my expertise.
In the Pacific, they are called, "Mahi-Mahi."
The rest of the World calls them "Dorado."
And in the unique State of Florida, they are reffered to as "Dolphin."
They are all in the "fish" family.
You don't hunt for Blue Marlin and you don't fish for Rabbits.
As far as the guitar goes. Make the check out for $2,000 and I will pay for shipping. If you feel that is too much, make me an offer (assuming that that is legal). If you found my wbsite, you have found my phone number too. Call for address and we can work out the details.
A SINCERE THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR INPUT, EXPERTISE, ADVISE, AND HUMOR. :)

You just have to realize what kind of pool you've jumped into when you come around here. I think you are up to speed now. ;)
BTW, you are one of the "few" in my sig line... |

Hope you stick around! |

Or is it just because I'm so familiar with "strange"?
(Welcome aboard, Craig. Been down there myself on an excursion off of Islamorada and had a great time. Plan on doing it again someday too.) |

Blue/Green water, scantily clad people and fish'in!
Nice guitar too.
I work with a bunch of Navy Divers so we've had this "whatta-ya-mean-itsa-dolphin" discussion before. |

Location: Tennessee | Hey Capt. Craig ... what's up man? I just put two and two together - how is the Longneck treating you? To make sure I wasn't hallucinating, I went back into my email and the pictures you sent of playing it in front of the festival crowd back in January match the guy on your website.
The guitar you're selling now must be the Adamas you talked abut having when we did the deal to on the DS768. I thought you were going to hang onto that guitar forever. ;) I hope you don't mind, but let me also show the folks here another picture of the Adamas for sale ... this time with you backing up a real rock star.
You gotta cut the folks here a little break ... it was a full moon after all and the collective werewolf mentality has been in full bloom around here lately. You're not the only one who didn't exactly "feel the love" recently. But you're definitely among friends here who are passionate about the brand and the people who love Ovation and Adamas ... even though they have an odd way of expressing it sometimes.
Anyway, good luck with the sale. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

Location: Key West, FL | Hey, Bobbo, I hope this thread finds you happy and healthy.
I tried not to get you involved or injure your OFC reputation, but it seems you have thrown yourself into the mix :)
I LOVE the Longneck! (I bought the Longneck from Bob, from this site, about a year ago and the first pic is from our annual Key West Seafood Festival-around 8K people!) It's now the one that I'll never sell... Before, it was the blue one :) I reserve the right to change my mind, afterall, I am a guitar collector :)
I didn't include the photo of my son, "Little Zach Nasty" just as to not get upstaged. But, you found it. We were playing a benefit at the Hurricane Hole Bar doing our New Jersey/Country Music Salute, Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" to a packed house with the Adamas ringing out the opening riff just like Richie would have played it...
Bobbo, thanks so much and thanks for the great lead to these chosen few individuals (OFC). It is indeed a small world... but, I wouldn't want to paint it! |

Location: Key West, FL | Folks,
Just to be clear... If that's possible...
The Longneck is NOT for sale.
The Adamas IS for sale.
And, the Hamer B12A (some of you spotted in the background) IS for sale. Perfect condition with case. I will probably want $1,850 for it. It can also be viewed on www.12stringbass.net alongside my Hiroshigi 12 string bass where we compare the "Dragon" to other 12'vers.
So, now that everyone is extremely confused, have a great Labor Day :) |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Good Move Craig. Thanks for mentioning it here first though. I have yet to see an instrument not go on Ebay, with exception of the ones that are way over priced.(make sure you have GOOD pictures) I believe your reserve price is fair, and who knows? ... you may get a bidding war that ends up driving your price higher. When they sell high, I belive it is good for future sales. That is unless you are a buyer. |

Location: Key West, FL | Sorry,
I had a court date today and just didn't get around to listing it on ebay yet.
I do promise to come back to this thread and put up the auction number as a courtesy.
Don't get me wrong, I do love money, but I would prefer someone buy it that will appreciate and play it.
I'm gonna miss you guys (insert blubbering sounds here) even you scarecrow! |
