Subject: i find it funny
Body: that i go into my living room to grab my guitar, and i have to open four cases in order to discover which is mine.
we have WAYYY too many ovations in my home right now.
i think the final count was six, plus an ibanez being stored in an ovation case.
the verdict-KATIE COME GET YOUR GUITAR! For the record, I only own one Ovation. She owns three. |

then Try to put the correct guitar in the correct case! :rolleyes:
[I sometimes have that problem, even with the tags] |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | I bought an el cheapo Brothers label maker just for this reason. I make a small label for the case handle area and a large one for the body end of the case. |

But since she only has three, I was thinking more along the line of Peace signs, Deadhead stickers, Motorhead, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, whatever she is into...
[probably none of them, huh? :p ] |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | My wife is a RN: she gets lots of that cloth white surgical/nursing tape...it works great and I put a 3 inch piece w/ model # on each case lid on the outside edge just in back of the first clasp...works great and looks cool IMHO. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Hang tags work great. The yellowish card stock with an eyelet and string on one end. Cheap, disposable, sturdy etc... And the best part is the case doesn't have to be in a particular position to read it. You just have to be able to get to the handle where it's tied on and grab the card to see it. |

I can tell the Viper and Deacon cases apart. The case Miles sent with the Viper has some vintage (old) stickers still on it. |

Location: Atlanta, GA. | I make a small label for the case This method also works well for knowing which shoe goes where... tho some here may have to put matching labels on their feet also! |

Location: GA USA | I didn't mention... I really appreciate what those girls are doing. Around where I live, I'm amazed at the number of teen bands who write all their own material. It's awesome to see a show with 4 or 5 local bands, all kids performing their own music. Acoustic acts, rock and metal of all kinds, even techno.
I haven't even told yous guys that Adam has left SSF to join a new outfit. The new one is a bit more "grown up - regular rock". All college guys. Details as they come in. He left this morning for Bonnaroo. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Plastic zip ties. They come in all sorts of colors, are impossible to take off without cutting them, are unobtrusive, and when you go to a music party, it's easy to identify all your stuff when it's time to leave. Canterbury String Shop has red ones on cases, amps, cords, mike stands, anything that I use outside the shop. Some of my friends use other colors. |

Nothing on my Country Artist. Both are Brown cases.
The 1758 case is black and the 97 Collector cases has a brass plate on it.
My other 6 string has a Martin plate on it. Sorry I had to add that. |

Acoustic acts, rock and metal of all kinds, even techno. Most venues around here do not allow covers, even when there is no money changing hands. We can thank ASCAP and BMI. The consequence is the boom in writing original material for live performances. Then there's the digital home recording revolution and the apparent demise of major recording labels. Its an interesting time for young musicians. |

Location: closely held secret | Mine are all hanging, so most of the cases are in the attic (small house). I try to keep one case for each bowl depth in my music room closet, since I rarely take more than one guitar with me when playing somewhere other than home. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | John, is your house shaded or something? I think if I stored my cases in my attic, they'd be big gooey puddles the next time I checked on them! |

Location: closely held secret | Partially shaded, but it's also pretty well ventilated. Generally doesn't get above 100 up there. |

Don't blame me. It's a disease which runs in the family.
