If you can't afford it, then let the list know what your upper limit is and I'm sure you'll get a much better range of suggestions. |

He does a lot of over-seas shipping & has a vast selection of Ovations you won't find anywhere else.

And sometimes he just likes people to call him and say hello. :) |
