Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I think the body looks more like the chambered mahogany type used on the Vipers. The photo isn't very clear, but I'd swear the electronic control panel also closely resembles the type used on the Vipers. Although the seller claims that it is made in Chile, is it possible that it is a Chinese knock-off of the Viper being marketed outside the U.S.? |

| I doubt Kaman would consider it worth the expense...
Strange that it has the old-style truss rod cover but the new style treble-side epaulets... |

I wonder if the mass production costs were maybe ten bucks a piece?... |

| The buyer apparently joined eBay for the first time just to get this 'great' deal. Oh, well - another person out there telling everyone they know that "Ovations" are crap :( |

"Chilean Ovation" (WTF?)
