Location: Croatia | Hey guys! Man, STP, as far as I'm concerned you're THE luckiest guy on Earth! Bumping into an ovation ultra GP like this and buying it for only 80$... I could only dream of that happening to me. -You wanted to know how many of these were made -they say less than 400... (and josh homme has three of 'em :) They didn't sell very well because they were almost twice as expencive as Gibson Les Pauls, and they were supposed to rival those. You own a really rare guitar there, so take good care of it :) and yes some pics would be nice...
ps. I am making my own gp so if there's anyone interested in some pics... let me know. I also have accurate corel draw blueprints and I'm willing to share them with you guys.. see ya! |

Welcome to the board. Is your Croatia the one in Europe? |

Location: Croatia | Yeah, and skiers too -Janica Kostelic and her brother Ivica. (-and tennis players, etc. ...)
Wouldn't like to go off topic now, so I'll return to the gp ultra -I just couldn't resist:
Sorry about the poor photo quality. The project is still in its early phase -right now I'm waiting for my Schaller bridge to arrive and then I can move on to contouring the top. |

Location: london | just in case you were wondering...
as far as i know the gp's were made in 2 runs. the way they can be told apart is by the input. the first do not have a plastic square, but only a neatly routed hole with a chrome ring, if toy know what i mean.. the second run has the square. the gold stickers are the model no. (at the base of the neck) and the serial no. on the "backside" of the headstock. interestingly enough i heard that ovation stopped using real dimarzios at the end of the run.... do you pickup's have the dimarzio logo stamped into the back of them?
And does anybody know anything about the reissues... i read something on the board a while ago. |
